SCB deny customer data leaked to dark web - bank go after posters of fake news

[webfact]

Picture: Daily News

 

Daily News reported that Siam Commercial Bank had denied that  their customers' data had found its way onto the dark web.

 

A hacker claimed to be selling the data. The bank has checked and it does not involve them; now they have reported the matter to the police.

 

The bank said they became aware of the claims on Tuesday. They said there were no vulnerabilities that could lead to leaks at their institution.

 

Customers can rest assured and be confident in the bank, they stated. They have filed a (police) report already about the false claims.

 

Customers can contact the call center on 02 777 7777 or contact the bank via internet channels for further information.

Funny my friend never used their Credit Card but got hit for 70K from outside Thailand

how did they get their CC info there must have been some kind of leak?

So only SB deny a security breach.  How many other Thai banks have been hacked and are keeping quiet about it?

None at all, wow.

 

SCB should share their security measures with the whole world, it will be the end of hacking as we know it.

 

All hail the mighty SCB, for truly they shall rid us of the woes of hacking.

That is a 'no lose' scenario and pointless. A publicity stunt.

The hacker is hardly likely to come forward to defend themselves.

People who profess their innocence so vehemently, are often hiding something by distraction.

My SCB account was suddenly charged with a Netflix subscription.

Strange as my debit card was not open for internet purchases.

Took six months and multiple Email before I got my money back.

 

Worst part was that they cancelled my card while I was abroad.

That's true — it is not a vulnerability when a database has no login and password.

My account is with SCB.. I'll have to keep an eye on the balance.

It's usually the pesky unknown  vulnerabilities that most hackers use.

What country and bank are they talking about ????

[tingtong]

To date this "fake news" still is painting about the most likely scenario of what may have happened, a deep contrast to the 'official' multi gangs with multi methods the same night, by coincidence, randomly generated acct numbers too...

Has it been revealed which banks had this problem? It is starting to sound like it could have been only SCB. It would be cool to know anecdotally if other banks were impacted because I doubt that they will announce it a cause a panic.
