On January 8, Ukrainian hackers reported that they allegedly published the data of 38 million customers.
Alfa-Bank denied the statement of the Ukrainian hacker group KibOrg that it allegedly published a database of 38 million customers of the bank-both individuals and legal entities. The bank's press service assured Forbes that customer data is safe and has not been compromised.
"This is fake, the bank's customer data is safe. The data is compiled from various sources, where people leave data to themselves," the bank's press service said. They also stressed that neither the bank nor its contractors had any leaks.
On January 8, the group announced on its website that it had allegedly published a database of 38 million customers — both individuals and companies. According to the attackers, the database contains the full name, information about the date of birth, account number and phone number of the client, as well as "other interesting data," the group said in a statement. In total, the table consists of more than 115 million client records since 2004, the hackers said.
KibOrg claims to have gained access to the bank's database back in October 2023, along with another Ukrainian NLB group. Then they published only a part of the available information-the data of 44,000 people, among whom, according to them, were the data of Mikhail Fridman, his son Alexander Ozhelsky, as well as Artemy Lebedev, Timati and Basta. In total, according to hackers, then they received data on more than 30 million customers. Alfa-Bank then also called the leak reports fake and assured that customer data is protected.
