photo evidences that hackers still gittibanked websites intercept customers data
32
00:01:47,640 –> 00:01:52,040
in massive fishing oppression. Suspected cyber criminals are cared to
33
00:01:52,120 –> 00:01:55,840
have compromised the domain address of Nigeria’s banking geriant gittibank
34
00:01:55,959 –> 00:01:59,159
since Wednesday nights, the fourteenth of August twenty twenty four.
35
00:01:59,799 –> 00:02:02,439
The incidents came me there after, the domain name was
36
00:02:02,480 –> 00:02:05,879
renewed for another five years from August thirteen, twenty twenty four,
37
00:02:06,079 –> 00:02:09,599
through March twenty first, twenty twenty nine. According to multiple
38
00:02:09,639 –> 00:02:14,280
online platforms that analyze domain information. No hacker has claimed
39
00:02:14,319 –> 00:02:17,879
responsibility for the evandalism yet, which occurred to have started
40
00:02:17,919 –> 00:02:22,680
mid ideas today August fourteen. Already, the attackers occurred to
41
00:02:22,759 –> 00:02:25,800
have created another HTTP layer of the website in an
42
00:02:25,879 –> 00:02:29,639
apparent floor to steal customers that are through fishing. S
43
00:02:29,680 –> 00:02:33,599
cyber security expart with experience in the Nigerian banking industry
44
00:02:33,639 –> 00:02:36,080
said it was possible that the band’s log in details
45
00:02:36,120 –> 00:02:39,680
were compromised, as against the domain addressed itself being stolen
46
00:02:39,759 –> 00:02:43,000
for a resell as a more ucreative deal online. This
47
00:02:43,120 –> 00:02:46,199
station attack has now caused gatemanks domain name to be
48
00:02:46,319 –> 00:02:48,960
ruined by someone else, either by the hackers or whether
49
00:02:49,000 –> 00:02:52,159
they choose to sell it to the springs. The question
50
00:02:52,280 –> 00:02:55,680
if JT Bank, being one of the biggest banks in Nigeria,
51
00:02:55,800 –> 00:02:58,240
did not have a DNS as his systet of which
52
00:02:58,280 –> 00:03:02,039
would have prevented or mitigated this hack. The bound’s mobile
53
00:03:02,080 –> 00:03:05,199
infrastructure did not appear to have been affected for now,
54
00:03:05,400 –> 00:03:08,840
as Android and IROs based applications are still in oppression.
55
00:03:09,599 –> 00:03:12,039
One thing is for sure, a lot of GTI bound
56
00:03:12,039 –> 00:03:16,000
staff would definitely be losing their jobs this week. Sas
57
00:03:16,199 –> 00:03:19,280
I want Lady green Day. You bring me in a
58
00:03:19,360 –> 00:03:20,639
more magical way.
