"UMB wishes to state that due to the significant infrastructural investments made into the bank’s operational systems, the technical and security teams of our bank were quickly alerted and moved very swiftly to avert this situation.

"Our bank remains resilient and very committed to working with the security forces to clean the environment of any form of cyber miscreants," a statement from the bank said.

UMB added that it was grateful to the GPS for their professionalism and tactful recommendations in their collaborative efforts towards the execution of the exercise.
