Millions Stolen From Health Ministry’s Bank Account Via Hack
Over $8 million reportedly went missing from The Ministry of Health’s NCB bank account last month via a hack.
The Ministry in a recent statement reportedly stated it was advised by the bank that some $8.3-million went missing from its account in mid-November.
According to the Health Ministry, the breach occurred due to computer malware.
Malware, short for malicious software, is any software used to disrupt computer or mobile operations, gather sensitive information, gain access to private computer systems, or display unwanted advertising.
According to the Ministry, NCB has so far recovered $6-million of the stolen funds.
The matter is still being investigated.
