New Delhi, May 18 (SocialNews.XYZ) HDFC Asset Management Company on Monday said it experienced a cybersecurity incident after receiving a communication from an anonymous source claiming access to certain portions of its IT infrastructure, according to an exchange filing.
\nThe HDFC Bank-backed firm said the incident occurred on May 16, following which it immediately activated necessary containment and incident response protocols to mitigate potential risks.<\/p>\n

HDFC AMC said it has engaged a specialist cybersecurity firm to conduct a detailed assessment of the possible impact of the incident.
\n\u201cWhile the detailed assessment is ongoing, based on the initial assessment, the incident is unlikely to affect the continuity of our business and operations and there doesn\u2019t appear to be any material impact on the company\u2019s operations,\u201d the asset manager said in the filing.
\nHowever, the company did not disclose the nature of the alleged access, the systems potentially affected, or whether any customer or financial data may have been compromised.
\nThe incident comes amid growing concerns over cybersecurity risks facing financial institutions and market infrastructure entities.
\nEarlier, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had urged the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to remain exceptionally vigilant against rapidly evolving AI-driven cyber threats.
\nSpeaking at SEBI\u2019s 38th Foundation Day event, Sitharaman warned that even a single successful cyber attack on a major exchange, depository, clearing corporation or brokerage could disrupt markets on a national scale and erode investor confidence.
\nShe had also cautioned that artificial intelligence tools were making cyberattacks \u201cfaster, more adaptive, scalable, and in some cases, more autonomous in execution\u201d.
\nFollowing the incident, shares of HDFC Asset Management Company traded sharply lower on Monday, falling 3.71 per cent to hit an intraday low of Rs 2,602.65 in early trade on the BSE.
