Claims have circulated on social media that a dataset allegedly belonging to Al Barid Bank, the Moroccan postal bank, is being offered for sale on the dark web. The purported data is said to include customer information.
In response, Al Barid Bank has issued a formal statement denying any critical data breach of its information systems. The bank asserts that its security infrastructure remains intact and operational, and that no sensitive customer data has been compromised.
The bank has urged its customers to rely only on official communications and to avoid engaging with unverified sources spreading the claims. It reiterated its commitment to data security and protecting client information.
Cybersecurity experts often note that dark web sales claims can range from legitimate breaches to attempts at fraud using old or fabricated data. The exact nature and authenticity of the data being advertised in this instance remain unverified by independent sources.
