These data are required for the hackers to prepare duplicate cards for a transaction with an unspecified response.
The experts who are known for the cracking the 2016 debit card breach have observed that the instructions to the banks and payment processors will help them avoid a huge mess up in the entire mechanism. It is not mandatory for the Indian banks to make public the details of the data breach. These banks can’t be forced to appraise their customers of the breach. Only some indications are admissible at the discretions of the banks.
Two years back, the banks received a set of instructions from the Reserve Bank of India to consider global payment card industry data security standards (PCI-DSS). But ordinary passwords are still operating in some banks being used by the employees. That has forced the security firms to advise the industry to take up the issues with the top Security Standards.
