Qatar National Bank allegedly hacked, data of 1,200 entities leaked



Qatar National Bank (QNB) said on Tuesday that it was investigating an alleged hack that potentially exposed the names and passwords of a large number of customers.

Media reports claimed that a 1.4-gigabyte trove of documents had been leaked online anonymously and divulged information on more than 1,200 people and organisations.

Among the information reportedly leaked is the bank details of several journalists working for satellite broadcaster Al Jazeera.

According to the Qatar-based outlet Doha News, the data leak includes files about the country’s secret service, security apparatus and even members of the ruling al-Thani family.
