Guaranty Trust Bank Plc (GTBank) has confirmed an attempted breach of its website domain. The bank reported that the attack occurred on Wednesday, following a recent domain name renewal, causing a temporary disruption that prevented access to online services.
GTBank clarified that customer data was not at risk, as it does not store such information on its website.

GTBank’s information security team is working to restore normal operations and reassured customers of their commitment to data security.
The bank advised customers to disregard the media reports and trust in their security measures.
