SCB suspends online debit card service after hackers expose vulnerabilities

[buksida]

Siam Commercial Bank said they would temporarily be suspending online transactions for debit card holders after finding vulnerabilities, local media reported.

SCB, one of Thailand’s largest banks, said on Saturday that their system was hacked and vulnerabilities were found and that they would be temporarily suspending any online transactions with debit cards potentially affecting millions of customers nationwide.

Normal services have not yet fully resumed.

Banking executives speaking anonymously to Thai Enquirer on Sunday said that the situation must be “extremely serious” to warrant a blanket suspension that would affect millions.

“Usually we deal with this sort of thing on a case by case basis so the vulnerability must be serious,” he said by phone.

Now being reported that this was "Fake News" but how does one know these days?

Well it was posted on the bank's official twitter and fb pages so either they have been hacked too - or SCB is faking its own news.

The Bank certainly should know. It was news from Pattaya alleging fake news. FAB 103 News Bulletin
