Qatar National Bank har hackats och den data som publicerats på nätet medger banken är äkta och att den stulits i samband med intrånget.
Sammanlagt stals 1.4 GB data från banken som trots intrång och informationstöld hävdar att inga kunder ska drabbas och att kundernas pengar är säkra. Banken kommenterar inte hur hackarna tagit sig in i bankens datorsystem.
QNB Groups Risk Team monitored abnormal activity in our system environment, this was immediately communicated to relevant authorities. We also took immediate steps and our systems are fully secure and operational. The attack only targeted a portion of Qatar based customers.
While some of the data recently released in the public domain may be accurate, much of it was constructed and contains a mixture of information from the attack as well as other non-QNB sources, such as personal data from social media channels. We believe the nature of this incident is fundamentally an attempted attack on QNB Groups reputation and not specifically targeted at our customers.
Hackarna, som tros vara från Turkiet lade upp en video på YouTube som visar delar av hur intrånget genomfördes. Videon plockades dock snabbt bort av YouTube.
This incident will have no financial impact on QNB Groups customers. We are taking every measure to protect the privacy of our customers and have engaged an external third party expert to review all our systems to ensure no vulnerabilities exist.
