Cyberattacks on banks, including AU Small Finance Bank, worry insurers as claim risks rise

Cyberattacks on banks, including AU Small Finance Bank, are causing concern among insurers as the risk of claims increases. This is because cyberattacks can result in significant financial losses for banks, which may then be passed on to insurers in the form of claims. As a result, insurers are likely to reassess their risk exposure and potentially increase premiums for banks to account for the growing threat of cyberattacks. This could lead to higher costs for banks and potentially affect their profitability.
