The Bank of Papua New Guinea (BPNG) has confirmed that the recent Cyber Incident is identified, and it is contained with no impact on the Banking System. BPNG Governor Ms. Elizabeth Genia assures the public that a recent cyber incident was identified and contained with no impact on financial data or banking systems. She said that on February 21, BPNG’s cybersecurity team detected unusual network activity within an isolated test environment and separated from critical network infrastructure. “The issue was fully contained and resolved by February 23, with no disruption to banking operations or stakeholder data." "This incident is unrelated to a recent cybersecurity event elsewhere in Papua New Guinea." "The two events were entirely separate, employing different methods and targeting different systems." "At all times, BPNG’s banking operations, financial systems, and stakeholder data remained secure,” she said. Ms. Genia added that as part of its ongoing commitment to cybersecurity, BPNG continues to strengthen its security framework through enhanced monitoring and international collaboration, ensuring its systems remain secure against emerging threats. “All essential banking services remain fully operational and protected by internationally recognised security measures." "BPNG remains committed to maintaining the highest security standards and safeguarding the stability of Papua New Guinea’s financial system."
