SBI Warns Customers of YONO App Phishing Scam State Bank of India (SBI) has issued a critical advisory to its customers about a new phishing scam targeting users of its mobile banking app, YONO. The bank warned that scammers are sending fraudulent messages claiming the app will be deactivated unless users update their Aadhaar details. SBI urged customers to remain vigilant and avoid engaging with suspicious links or downloading apps from unverified sources. The scam messages, circulating online, falsely inform users that their YONO accounts will be blocked overnight due to an outdated Aadhaar number. The message includes a malicious link purportedly directing users to an "official SBI Aadhaar update app." However, the link is designed to steal sensitive information such as login credentials and personal data. SBI clarified that no such update is required and that all legal updates for the YONO app are available through official app stores or branch offices. In a social media post shared on X (formerly Twitter), SBI emphasized that clicking on the fraudulent links could lead to financial loss, identity theft, and account compromise. The bank warned that fraudulent apps often mimic official platforms to trick users into sharing confidential details. SBI reiterated that customers should never download APK files or update Aadhaar details via unofficial channels. The bank also provided guidance on how to verify messages from financial institutions. Customers are advised to contact the official website or customer support for confirmation, avoid interacting with unsolicited messages, and delete suspicious content immediately. SBI urged users to report phishing attempts to its helpline or official channels.#x #aadhaar #state_bank_of_india #sbi #yono_app
