The Qatar National Bank suffered from a potential data leak that exposed 15,000 files online.
Over 15,000 files comprising banking data, QNB user profiles, credit card information, passwords, email addresses, physical locations, and phone numbers are among the data leak's contents.
User profiles from banks and other organisations are contained in one folder, and data from Al Jazeera employees is contained in another.
In cooperation with all relevant stakeholders, QNB is looking into this subject further.
