CIBC FirstCaribbean has sought to assure customers that it has been aggressively warding off an attack on a small range of its Visa debit cards.In a statement issued on Friday, the bank disclosed that the latest attack had been contained to less than one per cent of local cardholders.According to CIBC First Caribbean’s Chief Information Officer Esan Peters, the attack stemmed from the breach at a local logistics provider earlier this year, when fraudsters were able to get hold of legitimate, CIBC FirstCaribbean card numbers – which have since been cancelled – and client information stored by that company.“Using that information, fraudsters were able to extrapolate other potential card numbers in the same range and launch this recent series of attacks. However, the bank’s security systems have been keeping the fraudsters at bay,” he said.Peters has assured customers that the bank’s security systems have been repelling the attacks but added that as a precautionary measure, cards that have been targeted have had to be blocked from transactions..

[HRW] Nairobi -- The decision in the Court of Appeal of Ngozi to uphold the conviction and five-year prison sentence for a lawyer who had been affiliated to a human rights group in Burundi was a travesty of justice, Human Rights Watch and five other international human rights groups said today. The following is their statement:

[Nation] Public institutions have up to November 30 to submit to the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) details of all allowances they pay to their employees.

The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) has identified its key role as working to improve the lives of people living in Latin America and the Caribbean. The institution says it aims to do this through financial and technical support for countries that are working to reduce poverty and inequality.With a fairly unblemished history since its establishment in 1959, the IDB has found itself at the centre of controversy that is quite unsettling. Just two weeks ago, the institution was thrust into the spotlight after directors voted to fire president of the bank Mauricio Claver-Carone, over what they deemed as unethical behaviour.Claver-Carone was picked by former United States president Donald Trump, who himself is under multiple ethical and criminal investigations. The IDB president was dismissed following a probe into allegations that he was romantically involved with an employee, whom he favoured on the job and to whom he gave a significant raise of pay.
