RBI Mandates Banks Migrate to Secure '.bank.in' Domain to Combat Phishing

RBI Mandates Banks Migrate to Secure '.bank.in' Domain to Combat Phishing

Imagine your bank has a special, safe online address, like a secret clubhouse.

The RBI, which is like the bank police, wants all banks to use this new safe address, called '.bank.in'.

This is because some tricky people have been making fake websites that look just like real bank websites to steal people's money.

Only real banks, checked by the RBI, can get this special '.bank.in' address.

This makes it much harder for the tricksters to fool people.

Even though the deadline has passed, it's still a good idea to always check that you are on the real bank website before you log in and share any important information.
