In light of the recent release issued by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) concerning an attempted cyberattack, PremiumTrust Bank Limited has reassured its valued customers, stakeholders and the general banking public on the safety of its architecture.

“The attempt to gain unauthorised access to our database and infrastructure was swiftly detected and completely neutralised by our Internal Information Security and IT surveillance teams through real-time monitoring and advanced security protocols.

“The incident was promptly escalated to the appropriate law enforcement authorities, culminating in the EFCC’s arrest and prosecution of the suspects,” the bank said.

It appreciated the EFCC for its swift and highly professional response in not only foiling the cyberattack but also diligently tracking down the syndicate and their collaborators.

“This outcome validates the effectiveness, vigilance and sophistication of PremiumTrust Bank’s cybersecurity framework. It
further proves that our system functions precisely as intended — detecting, blocking, and escalating threats without compromising customer trust or data,” it added.
