BREAKING: GTBank Website Redirects To Parked Domain

Today, the website of GTBank, one of the leading banks in Nigeria witnessed an unusual domain URL redirect to something like a domain parking page of a website called http://mylife12.tk via the URL http://searchmagnified.com

@moderator: can u please put on front page

Damn! Yahoo boys at work

I saw the stuff too. I had to use the cache-ed version to access the online banking app.

Hopefully it isn't one of those banks that I hear uses MS Access as its database.

this is serious

Now displaying (Database Error: Unable to connect to the database:Could not connect to MySQL)

At least it isn't MS Access

On a more serious note, you would think that they would have had a no more than 24-hour turnaround. I mean, people need their money and shouldn't have to go to a physical location to get it. Worse case, they should have redirected traffic to some generic page that explains things, offers apologies and many some incentives for the inconvenience.

Let this be a lesson to clients that they shouldn't accept websites as-is. Rather, they should conduct their own independent security tests and have the "webmasters" fix holes asap before that all important final payment.

the site is back now. just try it
