SBI Warns Fake YONO Deactivation Message Scam

State Bank of India (SBI) has issued an alert about an ongoing phishing campaign targeting YONO users: fraudulent messages claim Aadhaar-related app deactivation to coerce victims into clicking links or downloading APKs from unofficial sources. These malicious payloads can contain banking trojans or spyware that harvest login credentials, OTPs and enable remote device access, posing a significant risk of financial theft; customers are advised to only use official app stores and verify communications through bank channels.
