Clop ransomware group has allegedly listed Zambia National Commercial Bank (ZANACO) on its leak site, claiming the bank ignored its customers’ security. The post includes ZANACO’s basic company details and a warning message — a tactic often used by extortion actors to pressure victims before releasing data.
No proof of leaked data has been provided yet, and the authenticity of the claim remains unverified. However, the post follows a recent pattern of ransomware operations targeting African financial institutions for data theft and extortion.
