Earlier this morning, news broke of an alleged Maybank data leak. More specifically, an individual claiming to have a database of 22 million Maybank2u customers – complete with login details – is selling these information on a dark web forum, and Maybank is quick to issue a statement to the claim.

“With respect to the alleged claim, Maybank would like to reassure our customers that our systems remain secure, and all Maybank customers information is fully protected,” the statement reads. The bank further elaborated that it takes security concerns very seriously, and it will continue to monitor and ensure that its data is protected at all times.

It’s worth noting that at the time of writing, the dark web forum posting has already been deleted. Looking back, there was also another alleged Maybank data leak in 2023 last year that claimed to have details of 1.3 million customers, though Maybank confirmed at the time that no customer data was compromised.

“With the various fraud counter measures put in place, including the usage of Secure2U to authenticate transactions, and cooling off period enabled for high risk transactions, our customers online transactions continue to be protected,” Maybank adds in the statement.
