ABN Amro accounting software taken offline after possible security incident

ABN Amro’s accounting software for businesses is offline after a possible security incident.

The software is used by entrepreneurs, and an external provider detected the issue and took the program offline.

The bank is considering whether data may have been exposed, but the available information does not confirm a leak.

The incident matters because the software may hold information belonging to business customers.

An investigation is underway to determine what happened and whether customer data was involved.

ABN Amro says it will contact customers personally if the investigation finds their data was affected.
