Nigeria’s new generation bank, Guaranty Trust Bank (GTBank) has confirmed that there was an attempt to compromise its website domain.

Recent media reports alleged that hackers had seized and cloned the bank’s website to intercept customer data.

The bank in a statement on Thursday denied the reports, describing it as an ‘isolated incident.’

The statement read: “Our attention has been drawn to reports in the media alleging that hackers have seized the Bank’s website, cloned it, and intercepted customer data.

“While there was an isolated incident of an attempt to compromise our website domain, we would like to assure all our customers and Stakeholders that the Bank’s website has not been cloned and that we do not store customer information on our website, and as such, there has been no instance of compromise of customer data.

“We would like to assure all our Customers and Stakeholders that the Bank’s website has not been cloned.

“Our dedicated team of Information Security Experts are currently working round the clock to restore domain settings,” the statement added.

“We urge all our Customers to please disregard the claims in these media reports and assure you of our unwavering commitment to safeguarding customer data.”

BeyondCertainty:
I suspect an inside job because normally GTB na thief with all those their hidden charges.

If you know how websites work, you'd know there's nothing to gain as an insider if your employer loses their domain. You in fact, got a lot to lose.

Crazy

hmmmmmmm


Banks are in trouble, i expect there firewall to be strong sha

I suspect an inside job because normally GTB na thief with all those their hidden charges.

My younger brother told me this news, I said is a lie.

If they had succeeded, "them for don hamm".

The value of this country is completely eroded. A country that celebrate crime and criminality is bound to experience things of this nature.

They'll probably only be able to steal internet banking details... So I think the first line of security for GTBank should be to inform their customers to change their internet banking details ( especially). . .

Anyways, what do I even know? They're not paying my salary, I shouldn't be giving them free cybersecurity advice... Tech Lord like me. 😎

I beg oooo make them keep my #693.99k save, I no go take am easy oo.

Noted.

Na only gtb waka come?

GtB and Zenith. Those two banks na hackers' favorites.

o

Wey na top politicians son's, daughters and girlfriend Ina dey employ. Shift pls

I think the attempt is to hijack the domain, and then resell it at a higher price back to them....

I think I ed a Google case some years back.

Compromise in what way

As soon as the banks update their systems the scammers also upgrade and go to a higher level of scamming strategy

I'm very sure there was active conivance of insiders in the scam attempt

Awon leaders of tomorrow!

Scammers of today!

No bank is immune, even foreign banks also fall victim from time to time

This would have been a great disaster. I hope they fortify their security more. They should also solve the issues with their mobile app that has persisted. It is not funny again.

Go collect una money oiih
