Meezan Bank dismisses ‘data breach’ after reports of unauthorised transactions

Meezan Bank denied a “data breach” on Thursday after reports of many customers who faced unauthorised transactions from their debit and credit cards circulated on social media. Over the past week, many social media users reported incidents of unauthorised transactions from their bank accounts. They said large sums of money were transferred from their debit cards without their knowledge. Some claimed that an alleged data leak occurred. In a customer advisory issued today, the bank said that “the rumours regarding a data breach at Meezan Bank are entirely false.” It assured its customers that their data was “completely safe with us”, reiterating that “there has been no security breach whatsoever”. The bank added that it was taking all necessary measures to make sure that affected customers were compensated as soon as possible.
