“While there was an isolated incident of an attempt to compromise our website domain, we would like to assure all our customers and stakeholders that the Bank’s website has not been cloned and that we do not store customer information on our website, and as such, there has been no instance of compromise of customer data.

GTB urged its customers to disregard the claims making the rounds in the public. The bank assured “our unwavering commitment to safeguarding customer data.”
A platform that analyses domain information claimed that the ‘alleged’ breach occured when GTB’s domain name was renewed for another five years from August 13, 2024, through March 21, 2029.
