Hackers Steal Over ₦2.9 Billion from Flutterwave Accounts

Flutterwave, an African fintech unicorn, experienced a hack attack where over ₦2.9 billion was illegally transferred from their accounts. Flutterwave's legal counsel filed a suit to freeze accounts in 27 Nigerian financial institutions, including Access Bank, Kuda, Zenith Bank, and OPay, to recover the stolen funds. It remains unclear how the hackers bypassed Flutterwave's security, and customers are waiting for an official statement from the company.
