Malaysia's National Savings Bank (BSN), Bank Islam, and Bank Rakyat experienced simultaneous service disruptions on November 6, affecting interbank withdrawals, mobile apps, and website access. BSN customers faced difficulties with MEPS interbank withdrawals due to high ATM transaction volumes, while Bank Islam's mobile app encountered compatibility issues with the Android 17 system. Bank Rakyat's website was also temporarily inaccessible.
The concurrent outages raised concerns about potential cyberattacks on the banking systems. However, there is currently no evidence confirming that the three banks were targeted by cyberattacks, nor any verification that the anomalies are interconnected.
