But “vast majority” of customers unaffected over two-day attack
Lloyds Banking Group has suffered a DDoS attack that affected its online services intermittently over the course of two days.
An international criminal gang was responsible for the attack, according to the Financial Times, causing outages for Lloyds' online banking and smartphone banking app between Wednesday 11 January and Friday, 13 January.
IT Pro understands that the attack came from outside the UK and while it affected Lloyds, Halifax and the Bank of Scotland brands, the vast majority of customers could access their bank accounts as normal.
