Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB) has admitted that there was an attempt to compromise its website domain name.
The lender, however, said that the data of its customers is safe.
The bank said these after reports of hacking of its website sparked outrage and panic among customers.
The reports claimed that hackers were carrying out phishing operations to steal customers information.
The bank, in response, said the claim that hackers have seized the bank’s website, cloned it and intercepted customer data was untrue.
GTBank said, “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 are currently working round the clock to restore domain settings, and we can assure our customers that our website will be up shortly.
“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.”
