Several banks will either replace or ask customers to change the security codes of 3.2 million debit cards on fears of potential security breaches . A virus or malware infection at Hitachi Payments Services led to over 32 lakh debit cards in India being compromised. The compromised debit cards were used in ATMs that are suspected to have exposed details of the cards to the malware. Of the debit cards affected, 2.6 million are on Visa and MasterCard platforms, while 600,000 are on the RuPay platform. The worst-hit of the card-issuing banks are State Bank of India, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Yes Bank and Axis Bank.
