GTB Speaks On Alleged Web Domain Hack

Deposit Money Bank, GTB, has provided clarity as regards the alleged breach of its domain.

Recall that since yesterday, customers of the bank have had difficulties carrying out financial transactions via the bank channels.


The report has it that hackers hacked into the domain of the bank and that has caused a serious breach, making transactions very difficult.

But in a statement from the bank on Thursday in Lagos, it explained that its website has not been hacked.

“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.

“Our dedicated team of information security experts is currently working round the clock to restore domain settings, and we can assure our customers that our website will be up shortly.”


GTB urged its customers to disregard the claims making the rounds in the public.
The bank assured “our unwavering commitment to safeguarding customer data.”

Platforms that analyse domain information claim that the ‘alleged’ breach occurred when GTB’s domain name was renewed for another five years, from August 13, 2024, through March 21, 2029.
