Event description
An unknown hacker group managed to breach First Partner Bank's infrastructure and extract the source code of the microservice used for QR code payment confirmation in the marketplace operated by the bank and its partners. Since this leak could be used in future cyberattacks, the bank has launched an investigation and is already taking measures to protect its systems. For now, it's clear that First Partner Bank's reputation is at stake. Clients and partners lost trust in the company and are scrambling to close their accounts en masse.
