Bank of Valletta's website was temporarily offline again on Tuesday morning, two weeks after the bank experienced a massive cyber attack that saw hackers take 13 million euros.

The website was back online after about one hour.

BOV shut down all its operations two weeks ago after hackers broke into its systems.

Most of its services were back up and running by the following morning.

The bank said in a statement that it is currently experiencing internet connectivity issues that are affecting its electronic channels, mainly services relating to internet banking, mobile banking, card payments through its EPOS machines and the website.

The bank said it is working to solve these technical issues in the shortest possible time.

Customers requiring urgent services are kindly requested to call at their Branch or contact the Bank’s Customer Service Centre on +35621312020 or [email protected]
