In recent times, there have been circulating advertisements on social media selling customer information of various mobile financial service users

A thorough investigation by Nagad has revealed that a certain party was attempting to sell 'fabricated customer information' through these deceptive advertisements.

Several media outlets published news based on such promotions, with some directly accusing Nagad in their reports.

Meanwhile, Nagad has brought this matter to the attention of regulatory authorities and has sent a letter regarding the issue.

Nagad reassures the public of the utmost safety of customer information, highlighting the implementation of state-of-the-art technology.

It is emphasised that at no point has any customer's information been unprotected or compromised in Nagad, and there is no possibility of such an occurrence."

The security measures implemented by the company have also earned praise from independent security analysts on various occasions.

Talking about the issue, Shyamol B Das, additional managing director (technology) at Nagad, says, “Nagad prioritises the security of customer information above all. Several independent security analysts have expressed satisfaction with our security measures. We have encountered rumours through various social media platforms, but I can assure you that any customer information held by Nagad is never insecure. The technology we employ keeps every piece of information encrypted, making any unauthorised access impossible. Despite that, our security measures have undergone rigorous scrutiny by multiple independent analysts, all of whom have lauded our robust infrastructure. So, I can confidently affirm to customers that there is no possibility of any information leaking from Nagad.”
