# YES Bank denies Rs 32 crore cyber fraud, calls report incorrect 2026-11-14T06:41:16+00:00 | Business & Economy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Outlets counted: cnbctv18.com, yespunjab.com YES Bank on Friday, 13 November, rejected a media report that alleged it suffered a cyber fraud loss of approximately Rs 32 crore ($3.4 million) involving government accounts in late October 2026. The bank said no government accounts were affected and its systems were not compromised. The report was published by The Banker, a Financial Times Group publication, on 13 November under the headline 'India on high alert after alleged $3.4mn cyber loss at Yes Bank'. The bank described the claims as factually incorrect and said it had asked the publication for a retraction, warning that incorrect information could harm its reputation and create stakeholder concerns. The clarification follows the bank's strong September-quarter results, with net profit rising 65% year-on-year to Rs 1,080 crore. Shares of YES Bank closed 1.5% lower at Rs 17.42 on Friday. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both sources carried the bank's denial identically, quoting the same statement from YES Bank and the same quarterly results. CNBCTV18 and Yes Punjab News reported the bank's rejection of the Rs 32 crore cyber fraud claim without any independent verification or comment from The Banker, giving the bank's version the only platform. The coverage is uniform straight reporting of a corporate denial. No source raised questions about the original allegation or sought a response from the publication. The only concrete next step is the bank's demand for a retraction, which remains pending. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - cnbctv18.com (neutral report) Straight wire-style report of bank denial and quarterly results - yespunjab.com (neutral report) Identical coverage of bank denial and financial performance This brief was synthesised by AI from the 2 sources linked above, so one read covers every framing they carry.
