Siriusim has published documents that it claims to be four sample customer records. Alongside this, the hacker group claims that it has access to personal customer information, loan applications, and supporting documents.

If true, the dataset may contain Know Your Customer (KYC) records, Aadhar numbers, account-opening forms and residential addresses. However, the authenticity and the extent of this breach remain unverified. It is also unclear whether this data is new or recycled from prior leaks.

Till the leak is verified, we cannot say whether this data came directly from SBI, one or more of its subsidiaries, or third-party service providers handling banking applications.

If genuine, the data could be used for identity theft and cyberfraud. Criminals could also combine leaked personal details with AI-generated messages, cloned voices or deepfake videos to target victims.
