The bank was hit by AVOS Locker Ransomware operators who claim to have stolen sensitive documents from the financial institution.
On Saturday, September 4, 2021, the ransomware gang added the bank to its leak site and published some screenshots as proof of the hack.
The cybercriminals defined the security implemented by the bank terrible.
“Pacific City Bank provides outstanding banking and financial services for businesses and consumers. (but they have horrible security)” reads the message published on the leak site. “If they refuse to negotiate, we will leak all the data we’ve got. Attached are some of the documents that were exfiltrated.”
