Bank Of Montreal Hit By Cyber-Attack

​









​


​The Bank Of Montreal was contacted by a group of cyber-criminals on Monday, saying that they had the financial and personal information of a number of the bank’s customers. The bank is certain that the hacking must have been done from outside the country, and are confident that the vulnerability in the system that led to such information falling in the wrong hands has been mitigated.

The Bank of Montreal is said to have been working with authorities to find the cause of the issue. Bank of Montreal is also Canada’s fourth biggest money lender. They have still not disclosed how many customers have been affected by this attack or if the customers have lost money.

They gave a statement saying, “Customers are recommended to monitor their accounts and notify BMO with any suspicious activity.”
