MUMBAI, July 20 (Reuters) - India's markets regulator on Monday imposed a fine of 10 million ‌rupees on Central Depository Services (India) Ltd (CDSL) for multiple ‌cybersecurity and compliance failures linked to a malware attack that ​disrupted depository operations in November 2022. • This server was the root cause of the ​malware attack. ​By failing to secure ​this asset, the depository ‌allowed cyber threats to gain access to its systems. • ​The attack disrupted critical depository ​functions including settlement ​activities, corporate actions, margin pledges and inter-depository ‌transfers, delaying settlements scheduled for ​18 November ​2022, SEBI said. • SEBI noted that the malware attack was the foreseeable outcome of accumulated cyber-security ​lapses, including inadequate ‌monitoring, weak password controls and failure to ​implement required cyber-security safeguards.
