Discount Group Payback App Payments Cyber ​​Event: Bank Payments Payments Information for Customers, the Paybox Payments, Stopped Out for Hours, until the Fault Was Fixed. On FoxBooks, there are about a million customers with the leak touching a significant part of them. At present, it is unclear what the nature of the information leaked and the extent to which the information was disclosed to customers.

The bank says that Fibox's systems have nothing to do with the bank's own systems, so the leakage is not related to the bank's customers themselves, and "the failure as a whole does not concern the bank's accounts and does not divulge any other information held by the bank regarding the customers managing its accounts." They also say, "The information leaked cannot do any harm to the app's customers."

According to the bank's statement, "Paybox reported to its customers that it had detected a new server installed on Paybox. The failure was fully addressed immediately upon its discovery. After a thorough and thorough examination, it was found that leaked partial information of Paybox users." The discount continues to say that "the app is safe to use."

The bank also noted that "the fault was fixed within a few hours" and "no significant impact on the bank is expected."

The Bank of Israel, which oversees the banks, said this morning that "it has been updated about the information leakage event in the Paybooks payment app and is closely monitoring developments. The Justice Department's privacy has also been updated regarding the details of the incident. "

The central bank also said that "our analysis indicates that there is no fear of direct financial harm to the app's customers as a result of the information revealed. The Bank of Israel is continuing to review the details of the incident." The Banking Supervisor also warned that "in light of the increase in financial activity through digital means, and as we have said before, it is recommended that the public be alert to fraudulent attempts (such as phishing" phishing ") and act on the recommendations of the Bank of Israel.

Today, there are three payment applications by the banks: Bit of Bank Hapoalim, Faye of Leumi Bank, and Paybox of Discount Bank. Unlike the workers and the national who developed the app for them, Discount acquired the development. Thus, the world of payment services between private individuals of the banks began in late 2016, when the workers issued Beat. At the beginning of the following year, just a few months later, Leumi released its payment app, Pepper Fei. The last to enter the field was Discount, still during 2017, after acquiring a license to launch the app in Israel of Paybox.
