Hackers struck India's banking world, messing up payments for almost 300 small cooperative and rural banks. This enormous attack targeted a critical tech company that showed weaknesses in these banks' computer systems.
What is Ransomware?
Ransomware is a sort of malware (malicious software) utilized by hackers. If a computer or network has been infected with ransomware, it will prevent access to the system or encrypt its contents. Cybercriminals demand ransom money from their victims in exchange for data release. To defend yourself against ransomware infestation, keep a look out and use security software. After a malware assault, victims have three options: pay the ransom, attempt to remove the software, or reset the device. Extortion Trojans commonly employ the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), phishing emails, and software flaws. Ransomware attacks can so target both individuals and businesses.
Two types of ransomware cyber-attack are very popular: -
1.     Locker ransomware. This sort of virus disables essential computer functionality. For example, you may be unable to access the desktop when the mouse and keyboard are partially disabled. This permits you to continue interacting with the ransom demand window to complete the payment. Aside from that, the PC is unusable. But there is good news: Locker malware seldom targets essential data; instead, it just tries to lock you out. Therefore, it is unlikely that your data will be destroyed entirely.
2.     Crypto ransomware. Crypto-ransomware aims to encrypt your vital data, such as documents, photos, and videos, while not interfering with normal computer functioning. This causes concern since users may see their files but not access them.
Breaking down the Attack: Looking at the Ransomware Hit
Inside sources say a complex ransomware attack broke into C-Edge's systems, hurting their ability to connect with the more extensive payment network run by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI). As a result, the NPCI has made the smart choice to cut off C-Edge from its retail payment systems. This step aims to limit possible damage and protect the wider financial system.
Regulators on Alert: Protecting Financial Stability
After this worrying event, Indian regulators have jumped into action to lessen the damage and get affected banking operations back to normal. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI), which oversees banking and payment systems in the country, has been working non-stop with cybersecurity experts to do thorough checks and strengthen the financial sector's defenses.
People in banking regulation have said that the RBI and Indian cyber officials had earlier given strong warnings to banks. They told banks to improve their cybersecurity to prepare for possible attacks. These warnings show the changing threats and the need to be more careful online.
As things settle down after this malware and ransomware attacks, banks and regulators see they need to strengthen their ransomware in cyber security. The ransomware attacks have opened their eyes to the risks in the digital world. It shows what can happen if they get too comfortable.
Industry experts and stakeholders want a full review of current security protocols. They push to use the latest technologies and stress the need for ongoing employee training and awareness programs. The banking sector can protect itself from future threats through a multi-faceted approach. This includes strong technical measures, thorough risk assessments, and a culture that values cybersecurity awareness.
Cybersecurity as a Strategic Imperative 
The recent ransomware cyber-attack has highlighted how crucial cybersecurity is for Indian banks. It's not just an operational issue anymore; it needs to be a top priority for boards, with its resources, oversight from executives, and a complete plan to manage risks.
Banks are starting to see they need to put money into strong cybersecurity. This means beefing up their digital systems, using better ways to spot threats, and getting both workers and customers to think about malware in cyber security. When banks treat cybersecurity as a key part of their strategy, they can cut down on risks. This also helps them build trust with their clients, showing they can be trusted with sensitive money information.
5 Challenges for the Banks against the Cyber Attacks
Here are the five challenges for the BFSI against the cyber-attack evolving around the world
·         Data Encryption: Data must be encrypted in transit and at rest, and customer data must be protected from unauthorized access.
·         Advanced Cyber Threats: Advanced persistent threats are long-term, sophisticated attacks to compromise sensitive data. Cybercriminals encrypt the data and demand ransomware attacks.
·         Technology Integration: Sometimes outdated technology often leads to network security features, making it more vulnerable.
·         Cybersecurity Skills Shortage: - Organizations sometimes find it difficult to find talented, skilled cybersecurity professionals.
·         Insider Threats: In an organization, accidental breaches can often occur due to insufficient employee training.
Due to ransomware malware, many things can be damaged, such as data theft and financial losses.
