        abstract = {The ongoing digital transformation of Indian banks has enhanced service delivery, yet simultaneously escalated the exposure to cyber threats, raising profound ethical challenges in cybersecurity practices. This paper critically examines these ethical issues, including data privacy infringements, opaque breach disclosures, deficiencies in informed consent, algorithmic biases in decision-making, and weak internal ethical cultures. By synthesizing empirical evidence, regulatory analyses, and behavioral cybersecurity research, particularly contextualized within Indian banking, this study argues for a comprehensive approach to embedding ethics into cybersecurity frameworks. Recommendations emphasize fostering security-aware cultures, enforcing transparent data governance, enhancing AI auditability, and instituting protected whistleblower channels, all essential to upholding trust and fairness in digital banking environments.},
