The recent incident involving GTBank’s domain address being compromised highlights serious cybersecurity concerns. As the bank’s official website, gtbank.com, became inaccessible, cybercriminals may have exploited this breach to deploy phishing tactics, potentially putting customer data at risk.
The domain was renewed just a day before the breach, suggesting that the attackers may have targeted the site shortly after the renewal.

With no claims of responsibility from any hacker group, and given the bank’s lack of immediate comment, customers are advised to be cautious and verify any communications or requests through official channels.

The disruption is significant given GTBank’s large customer base across Nigeria and other African countries.
