Major Canadian banks experience a bizarre, hours-long outage

Major Canadian banks fell unavailable for several hours, denying consumers access to e-transfers, online and mobile banking, and other services.

The Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Scotiabank, Bank of Montreal, and Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) are among the institutions apparently affected by the outage (CIBC).

For many, online banking and e-Transfers are not working.
Yesterday, the main banks in Canada went offline, making it difficult for many people to access e-Transfers, online, and mobile banking services.

The number of reports of people experiencing problems accessing their online banking peaked on Wednesday between 5 and 6 p.m. Eastern time, while BleepingComputer is still receiving an influx of these reports today:

 

An RBC spokesman acknowledged that “we are currently having technical challenges with our online and mobile banking, as well as our phone services.”

“We have no ETA to offer at this time, but our specialists are looking into it and striving to fix it as soon as they can. We value your tolerance.”

Customers continued to report problems a few hours later, within 30 minutes of RBC declaring that all systems were operating normally:

Andrew Currie, an RBC client, stated that the disruption left him without “access to my money at the grocery store” and forced him to wait in line for the cash register for 30 minutes.

Customers of BMO also noticed that the bank’s “Global Money Transfer service” was unavailable “all day” and that transfers were being automatically denied without any apparent cause. Such customers were advised to contact customer care by a BMO representative.

Inconsistencies with their internet banking were not acknowledged by CIBC.

Customers were apparently locked out of the TD Bank mobile banking app, and customer support agents said they “haven’t been told of recent concerns with our online service through EasyWeb.”

According to a TD Bank representative speaking to BleepingComputer, the bank had no significant system issues or outages.

It’s unclear at this moment whether some people’s difficulties at the ATMs were caused by the outage. According to an RBC staffer, the customer experiencing ATM problems is using an old debit card:

Some transfers are subject to rules under the Emergencies Act.

Although the reason for the outage is unknown, its timing is very intriguing because it comes only a few days after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau used the Emergencies Act in the midst of ongoing “Freedom Convoy” rallies.

Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland detailed the new rules that payment service providers must follow in accordance with the recently implemented Emergencies Act on Monday during a press briefing on Parliament Hill.

Additionally, without a court ruling and without risking civil liability, the Emergencies Act gives banks the power to freeze the accounts of people and companies they believe to be connected to the illegal blockades.

However, as the Deputy PM notes, since banks are currently required to report to FINTRAC, it is still unclear how new legislation will cause a planned or unanticipated outage.

T-Mobile data leak revealed call logs and phone numbers

T-Mobile data leak revealed call logs and phone numbers

T-Mobile has disclosed a data breach that exposed customer proprietary network information (CPNI), which includes phone numbers and call history.

T-Mobile started texting consumers about a “security incident” that revealed the details of their accounts yesterday.

T-Mobile claims that recently, their systems had “malicious, unauthorised access” uncovered by their security staff. T-Mobile hired a cybersecurity company to conduct an investigation, and the results showed that threat actors had gotten access to CPNI, or customer-generated network information, used for telecommunications.

Phone numbers, call history, and the number of lines on an account are among the data compromised in this attack.

“The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations’ definition of customer proprietary network information (CPNI) was accessed. The CPNI that was accessed might have included your phone number, the number of lines you have subscribed to, and, in some cases, call-related data gathered as part of your wireless service’s routine operation “T-Mobile claimed in a notification of a data breach.

According to T-Mobile, the compromised data did not include the names, addresses, email addresses, financial information, credit card information, social security numbers, tax IDs, passwords, or PINs of account holders.

T-Mobile claimed that this hack only affected a “small number of consumers (less than 0.2%)” in a statement to BleepingComputer. There are roughly 200,000 persons who have been impacted by this breach out of T-estimated Mobile’s 100 million customers.

“Less than 0.2% of our clients are now receiving notifications that some account information may have been improperly accessed. Names connected to the account, financial information, credit card details, social security numbers, passwords, PINs, and physical or email addresses were NOT among the data obtained. Phone numbers, the number of lines a user subscribes to, and, in a few rare situations, call-related data gathered as part of routine operation and service, were among the data that may have been accessed “Tells BleepingComputer, T-Mobile.

Anyone who has received a text alert about this incident should be on the watch for any suspicious texts that seem to be from T-Mobile and ask for information or contain links to websites that are not owned by T-Mobile.

Threat actors frequently employ information they have obtained from other targeted phishing and smishing efforts in an effort to obtain sensitive data such login names and passwords.

Prior data breaches at T-Mobile occurred in 2018, 2019 for prepaid customers, and in March 2020, which exposed personal and financial information.
