Data of nearly 600 accounts related to employees and system administrators of 16 commercial banks found on the dark web
Kathmandu. Is your bank account really safe? Tekpana's research has exposed a serious security challenge in Nepal's banking system. During the research, more than 9,000 sensitive login details related to employees, system administrators and customers of 18 out of 20 commercial banks in Nepal were found on the dark web. Of these, about 600 account details are related to the bank's internal systems, which has exposed serious weaknesses in cyber security.
During the research, data of employees and system administrators of 16 out of 20 commercial banks was found on the dark web. The remaining two banks that were leaked only have customer data. This data, including emails and passwords, can easily access sensitive data of some banks. During the investigation, data of employees and system administrators of Nepal Bank, Rastriya Banijya Bank, Krishi Bikas Bank, Standard Chartered, Prime Commercial, Sanima, Himalayan, Nabil, Kumari, NMB, Global IME, Lakshmi Sunrise, Prabhu, Citizens, NIC Asia, and Nepal Investment Mega Bank was found on the dark web.
