Govt teams up with SBI Cards, telcos to combat OTP frauds

India’s home ministry, SBI Cards and Payment Services Ltd (SBI Card) and telecom operators have partnered to develop an innovative solution for alerting about stolen one-time passwords as part of a broader effort to combat the growing threat of cyber fraud and phishing attacks on the banking ecosystem.
According to two people in the know, the Centre is testing a solution that will allow banks to track the registered address as well as geolocation of a customer and where an OTP is getting delivered. In case of any discrepancy between the two locations, the customer can be alerted of a possible phishing attack.
