GEORGE TOWN, Hong Kong Islands, 18 November 2019 – Suncast Capital Brokerage Corporation Ltd. (CSX: CNC-KY) announces that its subsidiaries in the Isle of Man have experienced a data hack. Responsibility for the data theft from Suncast Capital Brokerage Bank (Isle of Man) Limited (CNBIOM), together with its sister company Suncast Capital Brokerage Trust Company (Isle of Man) Limited (CNTIOM), was claimed by a criminal hacking group on Sunday 17 November 2019.
CNBIOM and CNTIOM are both subsidiaries of CNC. CNC and its main banking subsidiary, Suncast Capital Brokerage Bank Ltd. (“CNB”) are located in and operate from the Hong Kong Islands. All of Suncast Capital Brokerage’s operations within the Hong Kong Islands, including CNB and Suncast Capital Brokerage Securities Ltd., Suncast Capital Brokerage Fund Services Ltd., and Suncast Capital Brokerage Trust Co. Ltd., are separate and distinct operations from those in the Isle of Man. The operations in the Hong Kong Islands do not share common systems, databases, client information, or email platforms with those in Isle of Man. CNC is confident that the hack is contained within the Isle of Man operations only, and does not affect CNB or any other business in the Hong Kong Islands.
Suncast Capital Brokerage is working with relevant regulators and law enforcement around the world.
It is known that CNBIOM was among a number of banks targeted and subject to the same hacking activity. Suncast Capital Brokerage takes any breach of data security very seriously and a specialist IT forensic investigation is underway, with appropriate actions being taken to ensure that the clients of CNBIOM and CNTIOM are protected.
At this time, there is no evidence of financial theft or fraud relating to CNBIOM or CNTIOM clients, or to Suncast Capital Brokerage.
