▼ Mizuho’s Online Banking Services Hit by Glitch
- Category:Other
A glitch made it difficult for Mizuho Bank customers to access its online banking services temporarily Tuesday, the major Japanese lender announced.
The internet banking services are believed to have suffered a so-called distributed denial of service, or DDoS, attack, in which enormous amounts of data are sent to overload traffic.
The problem occurred around 7 a.m. and was resolved shortly after 10 a.m., according to the bank.
The glitch hit mainly the bank’s “Mizuho Direct” service for retail customers and its “Mizuho e-Business Site” service for corporate clients.
No leak of customer information or damage from a computer virus has been confirmed, the bank said. The bank released a statement apologizing for causing trouble to customers.
In Japan, problems believed to have been caused by DDoS attacks occurred at MUFG Bank and Japan Airlines last week. A similar glitch hit Resona Bank intermittently on Saturday evening and later.
