Jamaica Financial Network Breach Exposes Customer Information

JETS Limited, which operates Jamaica’s MultiLink debit card and Automated Clearing House networks, confirmed a cybersecurity incident that may have exposed historical debit card numbers and customer names. JETS stated that the payment networks themselves were not compromised and remain operational. The Bank of Jamaica advised customers to monitor for fraud.

The incident involves the core financial infrastructure of Jamaica, affecting customers both domestically and abroad who use Jamaican banking services. The disclosure occurred shortly after government officials noted that Jamaica lacked a specific cybersecurity act.
