In the context of the computer attack he suffered State Bank, the Association of Banks and Financial Institutions (ABIF) reported in this regard that the rest of the bank is operational and without problems.
Along these lines, he assured that services and transfers between banking institutions “are operating normally at the industry level.”
“The financial services and products in the remaining institutions are fully operational”added ABIF.
He then pointed out that the rest of the banks that provide services in Chile are monitoring and taking the pertinent safeguards “to prevent and mitigate” any vulnerability.
BancoEstado situation
The violation that BancoEstado suffered at the cybersecurity level is unprecedented: the Interior Ministry already manages records under reserve.
Previously, and like other banks, the entity continuously alerted users about phishing and other scam attempts, but this time it was something completely different.
Why? BioBioChile sources explained that this attack reached a larger scale because it was proven that the attackers used the Ransomware technique, with which They “hijacked” the bank’s data to exploit all its technological vulnerabilities.
It is not ruled out, therefore, that they have already collected basic data from the system and that for the release of them they are demanding a figure of money.
