The use of technology has also boughtsome problems and challenges such as external threats that need to be dealt cautiously. Theresearchers Reaves et al., (2015), was of the view that the increase in the cyber frauds alongwith the unintentional acts of the employees have led to secure the data in a confidentialmanner so that it cannot be used for misguiding activities.

Bhasin (2015) was of theview that most of the banks are trying to tighten the grasp of security in their work mechanismsso that the gaps between them can be filled properly. They are using the method of encryptingthe data with passwords, Secured Socket Layer (SSL) and the use of User Awareness Programs,which might provide some resistance to the fraudulent activities that are being carried against thebanks. Cyber Security attacks on banksAs per Thakur and Srivastava (2015), the challenges that are being faced by the banksinclude the issues related to privacy, which includes the sharing of the information that ispersonal in nature. The sharing of the information with the third parties allows them inaccessing the information of various personnel so that it can be used for the purpose of marketingand the numbers on the cards can be derived without the consent of the user. The collection ofthe personal data and information of the consumers will lead to blackmailing the people by thefraudsters.Venkatesh, Rathi and Patwa (2015) pointed out that another problem that is associatedwith the cyber attacks on the banks is known as Phishing, which is an attempt that is madeto obtain the information that is sensitive in nature. The fraudulent activities will result ingetting access to the details of the credit card holder along with the passwords and usernames ofthe consumers. This is commonly carried out by messaging on an instant manner along with thespoofing that is done through e-mails. The access to the online information by the fraudsters willhelp them in gaining access to the bank details from where the money can be transferred withoutthe knowledge of the consumers.
