The notorious BASHE ransomware group has reportedly breached the ICICI Bank database, one of India’s leading private sector banks, and claimed responsibility for the attack.
The alleged attack has surfaced on the dark web, where the hackers have set a ransom deadline of January 24, 2025, threatening to expose sensitive information if their demands are not met.
The BASHE group, also known as APT73 or Eraleig, has been active since April 2024 and employs tactics similar to LockBit, targeting critical industries across developed nations. Using a TOR-based Data Leak Site (DLS), the group uses data extortion to pressure victims into compliance.
This group has a reputation for targeting high-value businesses across multiple sectors globally, including banking, healthcare, and technology. Their operations involve sophisticated strategies, often employing Tor networks for anonymity.
ICICI Bank, which serves millions of customers across India and has a significant international presence, has not officially acknowledged the breach.
However, posts on social media platforms like X have been buzzing with concerns from users and cybersecurity enthusiasts, highlighting the potential severity of the situation given the bank’s classification as “critical information infrastructure” by the Indian government in 2022.
