Why “most hacked” is ambiguous

“Hacked” can mean many things: a fraudster successfully moved money out of a bank (theft), an attacker stole customer data (data breach), criminals skimmed card numbers or abused ATMs, or nation-state groups probed and persistently attacked networks (reconnaissance and attempted intrusions). Some incidents are blunt and spectacular (an $81 million transfer), others are quiet but affect tens or hundreds of millions of people (mass data theft). Because different metrics matter to different audiences, any claim that one bank is the absolute “most hacked” will be incomplete unless you specify the metric. Regulators and security researchers therefore usually rank incidents by impact type (money stolen, records exposed, systems disrupted) rather than naming a single “worst offender.” (Wikipedia)
The headline grabber: Bangladesh Bank (largest SWIFT heist)
If you mean “biggest single theft,” the 2016 Bangladesh Bank heist is the most famous example. Hackers used compromised credentials to send fraudulent SWIFT transfer requests from Bangladesh Bank’s Federal Reserve account; of 35 transfer instructions they attempted, five succeeded and about US$81 million was funneled into accounts in the Philippines before banks and intermediaries blocked the rest. The size and audacity of the theft — nearly $1 billion attempted, $81 million succeeded — make this attack the poster child for “bank hacks that actually stole large sums.” It also exposed vulnerabilities in how banks use global payment messaging networks. (Wikipedia)
Massive data breaches (different category): JPMorgan, Capital One and others
If your metric is “number of customer records exposed,” major retail banks sometimes top the lists. JPMorgan Chase disclosed in 2014 that data related to tens of millions of households and small businesses was taken during a years-long intrusion; that attack is commonly cited among the largest breaches at a U.S. bank. In contrast, the 2019 Capital One incident exposed roughly 100 million credit card applications and related personal information after a cloud misconfiguration and an insider-style exploit — a different class of compromise (data theft, not direct bank-account theft) but very high impact for consumers. Both cases highlight how modern breaches often leak identities rather than immediately move funds. (Wikipedia)
Repeated targeting and campaigns: SWIFT-era attacks and state-level groups
Between roughly 2015–2016 security researchers documented a series of attacks on banks that used stolen SWIFT credentials and sophisticated malware to mask fraudulent transfer records. Those incidents affected multiple institutions and pointed to coordinated groups (sometimes linked to state actors or advanced persistent threat groups). When banks are targeted by recurring, coordinated campaigns, it’s not one bank being “most hacked” so much as a class of institutions being repeatedly probed and exploited using similar techniques. Those campaigns prompted widespread reassessments of how banks isolate payment systems and monitor transaction integrity. (Wikipedia)
Recent large-scale compromises and third-party failures: Santander and others
In recent years some of the largest customer-impact incidents have come from third-party data exposures (vendored databases, support tools, or cloud misconfigurations). For example, media reporting in 2024–2025 described a large set of Santander customer and staff details placed for sale — illustrating that even if a bank’s core transaction systems remain intact, peripheral systems and suppliers can leak massive datasets. This trend means “most hacked” can change rapidly as new breaches are disclosed or old incidents are re-evaluated. (Financial Times)
Regional waves: card breaches and compromised processors
In some countries or regions the same banks show up repeatedly simply because they share a common processor or third-party vendor. For instance, card data breaches have historically affected multiple Indian banks at once when a payment-processor or ATM network was compromised, producing a cluster of “hacked” banks that looks worse than isolated incidents but is really a single upstream failure cascading across institutions. Those waves explain why you might hear that certain banks in a country were “the most hacked” in a year — it’s often a supplier problem. (Wikipedia)
So which bank is the “most hacked”?
Short answer: you can’t name one bank and expect everyone to agree. Different measures point to different leaders:
-
Biggest single theft (money stolen): Bangladesh Bank SWIFT heist (2016). (Wikipedia)
-
Biggest single data-exposure incidents (records): incidents involving Capital One (2019) and large breaches at major financial services firms (Equifax — though a credit bureau, its breach dwarfed many banks in records exposed). (The Guardian)
-
Most frequently targeted: global systemically important banks (big universal banks) routinely report thousands of probes and millions of automated attacks annually; they are targeted constantly but have heavy defenses. JPMorgan is often cited both for huge attempted intrusion volumes and for historic breaches. (Yahoo Finance)
Why the label matters — and what it misses
Calling a bank “the most hacked” can be misleading. Large retail banks attract more attention and probing precisely because they hold many customers — that makes them lucrative targets and causes them to appear to be attacked “more.” Smaller institutions can be quietly compromised via third parties without the world noticing. Also, attack visibility depends on disclosure laws, reputational choices, and local regulation: some banks report every incident; others disclose only when required. So public lists are biased toward institutions in jurisdictions with stronger reporting requirements or high media scrutiny. (Forbes)
