Key Takeaways
Change your SBI YONO and net banking password immediately — use a unique combination not used on any other platform or email account.
Call your telecom operator (Jio/Airtel/Vi) and ask them to flag your number against unauthorised SIM-swap or port requests — most operators allow this on a service call.
Ignore any calls or messages from people claiming to be SBI offering loan top-ups, KYC updates, or account verification — treat every such contact as a scam until verified via the official SBI helpline 1800-11-2211.
