Protect your online banking accounts from hackers by being vigilant. Cybercriminals can exploit personal information from social media, like your name and date of birth, to gain access to your accounts. They may use this data to acquire your PAN card and mobile number, then obtain a duplicate PAN card and SIM card. With these, they can exploit the "forgot my password" option on internet banking sites to reset your password and gain access to your account. Stay safe online and report any suspicious activity to your bank or local authorities.
