New Delhi: The Punjab National Bank (PNB) has denied media reports that over 180 million customers’ data has been breached or exposed, adding that the bank is certified with ISO 27001 standards for information security practices.

PNB responded to media reports published Sunday, based on the findings by Chandigarh-based cybersecurity firm CyberX9, with a statement the next day. “There has been no breach of systems and pilferage of any personal data of any of our customers and account holders of PNB,” the banking giant said.

In a 21 November blog post, CyberX9 claimed:

“Punjab National Bank — India’s top public bank — kept severely compromising the security of funds, personal and financial information of over 180 million (all) of its customers for 7 months.”
The cybersecurity firm alleged that a PNB internal server had a vulnerability that would have allowed a malicious hacker to get access to it. If a hacker got in, they could have gained access to the nationwide computer systems of the bank.

“PNB doesn’t have any cyber security contact to responsibly report security vulnerabilities mentioned anywhere,” the blog post said.

Responding to this claim, PNB said it “thoroughly checked” all its computer systems and found that no breach has occurred.
