  • A fake message claims SBI YONO app will be blocked if Aadhaar KYC isn't updated by downloading an APK file.
  • PIB Fact Check confirmed the message is false and misleading; users should not download APKs or share personal details.
  • SBI warns it never asks customers to download APK files or update Aadhaar details via SMS, WhatsApp, or email.
  • Fraudsters use fake APK links to steal sensitive banking login information, OTPs, and personal data, leading to financial loss.
  • To stay safe: avoid unknown links, verify senders, download apps only from official stores, and report cybercrime via 1930 or cybercrime.gov.in.
