The National Bank of Pakistan (NBP) has suffered what two sources have described to The Record as a "destructive" cyberattack. From a report: The incident, which took place on the night between Friday and Saturday, impacted the bank's backend systems and affected servers used to interlink the bank's branches, the backend infrastructure controlling the bank's ATM network, and the bank's mobile apps. While the attack crippled some of these systems, no funds were reported missing, according to the bank and people familiar with the attack and the current investigation. "Immediate steps were taken to isolate the affected systems," the bank said in a statement on Saturday. Recovery efforts were in full swing over the weekend, and by Monday, NBP reported that more than 1,000 branches opened and catered to customers as normal and that all ATMs nationwide had been fully restored.
