HSBC Says It Successfully Defended Attack on Online Banking System
HSBC says it “successfully defended” an attack on its online banking system on Jan. 29 but services were disrupted on a key day for many people’s personal finances, reports The Guardian.
HSBC customers were locked out of internet banking for several hours after the company was targeted by online criminals in a denial of service attack.
The bank said it was working with the authorities to “pursue the criminals responsible.”
