The Jamaica Stock Exchange (JSE) has issued an alert to its clients after hackers gained access to some of their personal information.

In a statement, the JSE noted that the cyber breach occurred recently and has since been contained.

It said the accessed information includes clients’ full name; residential and or mailing address; email address and telephone number; date of birth; government-issued identification (taxpayer registration and passport numbers); and account number or client reference.

The JSE said its current investigation has not identified evidence that passwords and security credentials were exposed.

It also noted that there is no evidence that the incident affected its trading or settlement platforms, customer login credentials or its core transactional systems.

The JSE said it has already undertaken corrective measures, which include reviewing and strengthening its technical and organisational security systems.

Clients are being urged to look out for unsolicited emails, text messages, or telephone calls that reference personal details.

They should also change passwords for accounts that use an email address shared with JSE and enable multi-factor authentication where available.

Clients are also being urged to report any suspected fraud or identity theft to the Jamaica Constabulary Force.
