Consumer data of 3 BD banks hacked

Turkish hackers breach the banks’ servers before posting the obtained data online

A Turkish hacker group dumped a considerable amount of secured consumer data of three Bangladeshi commercial banks online on Tuesday, claiming they were able to obtain the information by breaching the banks’ internal servers.

The three banks are Dutch-Bangla Bank Ltd (DBBL), City Bank Ltd, and Trust Bank Ltd, reports cybersecurity-focused news website Data Breach Today.

Links to the file archives containing data from the above-mentioned banks have been posted from a Twitter account, supposedly operated by Turkish hacking group Bozkurtlar (Grey Wolves).

The notorious hacker group rose to fame after leaking data tied to Qatar National Bank and UAE’s InvestBank recently. Along with the Bangladeshi banks, it also leaked secured consumer data of two Nepalese banks – Business Universal Development Bank and Sanima Bank.

Cybersecurity analysts contacted by Data Breach Today said while the data in the newest leak appears genuine, the volume of data from these banks is relatively small. The file archives posted 312KB for the DBBL, 11.2MB for City Bank, and 95KB for the Trust Bank, respectively. For the full article click here
