A screenshot of an HSBC India customer notice claims that Internet Banking passwords will become uppercase case-sensitive from 6 April 2026, telling customers to convert passwords such as “Test123” to “TEST123.” The joke is that legitimate banking systems normally preserve password handling through hashing and do not ask users to change the case of existing passwords in this simplistic way, making the notice look like an absurd security failure or prank.
