On Monday of this week Bankia suffered a cyberattack of
DDoS type. It all started when users of the bank itself
complained via Twitter about not being able to access either the app or the website.
After the complaints on Twitter from users, the
Twitter user @CesarBerSan, stated that Bankia was being a victim of
a DDoS attack. This reason would be what prevented users from accessing both
the app and the website.
Through Bankia's official Twitter account they have
confirmed these suspicions, indicating that they had an incident that prevented their
systems from functioning normally. In addition, they assured that they were working
as quickly as possible to solve the incident.
Debido a una posible mitigación por parte de la
entidad no todos los sistemas se habrían visto afectados permitiendo de este
modo acceder y navegar por la web, sin la posibilidad de acceder al apartado
del cliente. Sobre las 16:00pm del mismo lunes volvían a funcionar perfectamente
los operativos de nuevo, In addition, mediante la cuenta oficial de twitter
informaban que los servicios online volvían a estar funcionando con normalidad.
