Resona Bank Apparently Hit by Another Cyberattack
16:07 JST, January 8, 2025
TOKYO (Jiji Press) — Resona Bank was apparently hit by another cyberattack on Tuesday, as its internet banking service for retail customers was temporarily inaccessible.
The bank intermittently experienced a similar situation around the turn of the year.
According to the bank, Tuesday’s glitch began around 5:30 p.m., and the problem was largely resolved by around 7:30 p.m. No breach of customer information or virus infection has been confirmed.
The possible cyberattack was of the type that floods the target with a massive amount of data.
Glitches apparently caused by cyberattacks also hit MUFG Bank and Mizuho Bank late last month.
