According to the Ministry of Economy, an unauthorised entity accessed last month’s national FICOBA bank account database.
“On detection of the incident, immediate restrictions on access were put in place to limit the data that was accessed from the database… The work is currently underway to restore the service to the highest level of security.”

Banks have been asked by the government to warn their clients about this situation.
