African Bank has confirmed that one of its appointed professional debt recovery partners, Debt-IN, was targeted by cybercriminals in April 2021.
At the time, expert security advice concluded that there was no evidence that the ransomware attack had resulted in a data breach – however, Debt-IN is now aware that the personal data of certain customers, including a number of African Bank Loan customers under debt review, has been compromised.
The bank said that Debt-IN is confident that no data shared post 1 April 2021 has been compromised.
