The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) confirmed the incident in a statement, noting, "C-Edge Technologies has been possibly impacted by a ransomware attack affecting a few of their systems." The NPCI assured that restoration efforts are underway on a war footing, with a comprehensive security review in progress.
