Mexico central bank suspects cyber attack at three financial institutions

Mexico’s central bank said on Monday it was investigating an apparent cyber attack into the payment systems of at least three local financial institutions, but no funds were stolen.

Connections to the central bank’s payment system at two banks and a brokerage were compromised, said Lorenza Martinez, head of the central bank’s own payment system.

“At this time, both the institutions and ourselves are monitoring in a diagnostic way to identify what the problem was,” Martinez told local radio.

She denied reports that the central bank’s payment system itself had been breached in a cyber attack . . .
