The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) has said that it has re-established connectivity with C-Edge Technologies Limited following a security review by an independent forensic auditing firm. According to an official press release issued this evening, NPCI has said that the services of cooperative banks and regional rural banks, which were dependent on C-Edge, have now been restored. Accordingly, respective banks will now be able to offer a full range of services seamlessly to their customers, as before.

NPCI had yesterday temporarily isolated C-Edge, a technology service provider, in the wake of a possible ransomware attack. 

NPCI has said that the auditor has assured that the impacted systems have been isolated by C-Edge and the remaining infrastructure is clean. It further informed that the impact was limited to C-Edge systems hosted in their data centre and not on any of the cooperative banks or regional rural banks’ infrastructure.
