There have been allegations of leaking some information of the state-owned Agrani Bank. A hacker group called ‘Kill Security’ claims to have stolen more than 12,000 data. In this regard, the hackers also demanded money. However, the bank authorities say that the entire server has not fallen under the hands of hackers. The e-mail IDs of some employees were recovered by hackers.
It is known that the hacker group named ‘Kill Security’ has hacked more than 12 thousand information of Agrani Bank. On May 17, the hackers sent a message via Telegram saying that if they do not pay 5,000 euros, they will leak these important information. However, not getting the money within the specified time, the hacker group leaked the information on the dark web on June 6.
However, a source in the bank said that a hacker group had demanded money claiming to leak some information of Agrani Bank. There were no major hacks, only a few employees’ e-mail IDs were hacked.
Two senior officials of the bank, who did not wish to be named, said that the server has been working slowly for several days. The circulars were not available on the website. We thought maybe the contract talks are going on with the IT vendor company. Now I hear about hacker attack inside. But working now, server slow no more.

An official of the IT department said that Agrani Bank’s IT was strong. However, after receiving irregularities in the purchase of software against IT head Shahinur Islam, the power of the purchase committee was taken away from him. From then on he became more apathetic. Other officials blamed his (IT head) indifference with the server hack.
In this regard, Abdur Rahman Gazi, who is in charge of the IT department and deputy managing director of the bank, told Jago News that there was no major hacking incident. However, some employees’ e-mails were hacked. Later we were able to recover it.
No response was received when the bank’s Managing Director (MD) Murshidul Kabir was called on his mobile phone to confirm the information. He did not respond even though a message was sent on WhatsApp.
