14 DAY TRIAL // A distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) attack has been launched against the systems of Canada-based Toronto-Dominion (TD) Bank.
Currently, the website appears to be working properly, but around 19 hours ago, the following message was published on Twitter by the financial institution’s representatives: “We are currently experiencing a service interruption & are working to restore services. For your banking needs, call EasyLine 1-866-222-3456.”
A bank spokesperson has told The Star that the attack hasn’t affected the personal information of customers or their accounts.
During the attack, which began on Thursday morning, customers, from both the United States and Canada, were unable to access the website or mobile banking services, but telephone banking, ATMs and branches were operational.
It’s uncertain who is behind the attack. However, it’s worth noting that Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Cyber Fighters have been busy these days launching DDOS attacks against US bank websites as part of Operation Ababil.
