Cyberattack on JETS exposes customer information; MultiLink and ACH networks unaffected

KINGSTON, Jamaica — JETS Limited, operator of Jamaica’s MultiLink Debit Card and Automated Clearing House (ACH) networks, confirmed that hackers may have accessed sensitive customer information after a cyberattack on part of its internal administrative systems.

The company assured the public that neither the MultiLink nor ACH payment network was compromised, but said the breach may have exposed the names of some customers who received transfers through the ACH network, as well as debit card numbers contained in historical administrative files.

JETS stressed that personal identification numbers (PINs), card verification values (CVVs) and card expiry dates were not exposed, as the company does not store that information.
