Sri Lanka’s Cargills Bank, which faced a cybersecurity breach that led to sensitive information being leaked, has asked that already compromised data not be shared.
“We urge the public not to share any customer information they receive as it would only victimize those whose information has been compromised,” the bank said in a stock exchange filing.The bank said it has initiated legal proceedings to protect customer and stakeholder information.
“We have also initiated legal proceedings to protect customer and stakeholder information by seeking a preventive court order aimed at restricting the unlawful sharing of compromised data.“This step was taken solely to uphold the privacy and security of those affected.”
The bank said it was engaging with local and international cybersecurity experts to investigate the incident, strengthen security measures, and enhance future cybersecurity framework.It was also coordinating with the law enforcement authorities, including the Computer Crimes Division of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID).
