Seychelles Bank’s Cyber Oopsie: Personal Data Leaked, Money Safe
When life gives you hackers, make sure they only steal your personal info, not your money. Seychelles Commercial Bank recently faced a cybersecurity incident, but reassures customers that while personal data was exposed, their funds remain untouched. Because who needs privacy when you can have the thrill of ATM adventures?
Hot Take:
Looks like the Seychelles Commercial Bank has joined the “We Got Hacked Club” with a membership card that reads: “Your money’s safe, but your personal info? Not so much!” While hackers are busy selling customer data faster than you can say “cybersecurity incident,” the bank is urging customers to dust off their ATM cards and embrace old-school banking. It’s a reminder that not even paradise is safe from digital troublemakers!
