Banks always get into controversy because of unspecified reasons, affecting the bank’s employees and tangling the customers. Right now, the industries are more focused on money-making than offering standardized services and facilities to their customers.
Banks are following this trend which is not suitable in the long run. If we look at the network of customers banks are connected with, the count will go much higher than we could imagine. Now, you can take an estimated count of how much data these banks store in their databases.
The security of that data is necessary and should be confirmed at once. We know banks always try to make their network more secure whenever new security methods come in. But adversaries are not backing up, and it’s not like they are backing up any sooner. The news came in about bank data leaks.
Additionally, the bank mentioned in the news was Central Bank “BC.” Customers’ records are under the custody of Abastece Ai Clube Automobilista Payment LTDA, aka Abastece Ai. Pix keys that connect users’ data to the bank transfer details have been breached.
