Multiple attempts to log on to www.gtbbank.com returned error signs as of 10:30pm on Wednesday.

A cybersecurity expert with experience in the Nigerian banking industry said it was possible that the bank’s login details were compromised, as against the domain address itself being stolen for a resale at a more lucrative deal online.
The bank had not issued any official response to the development as of the time of filing this report.
