Three More Arrested in Bulgaria’s Bank Scandal

Three more people have been arrested for disseminating false information and undermining the prestige of Bulgaria’s First Investment Bank.

The latest arrests were made in the capital Sofia, bringing the total of detainees to 6, the State Agency for National Security (DANS) revealed.

The operation carried out on Sunday morning targets suspected hackers, who sent emails and short text messages to clients of the bank, warning them of bankruptcy. This led to mass panic and thousands of citizens withdrawing their savings.

DANS has opened a hotline - 02 814 70 95 – for anyone who has been a victim of these cyber attacks to report to. They can do so at press@dans.bg as well.
