"Internal data processing error" or "glitch"
That's what BPI claims as the cause of the discrepancies in their clients' bank accounts, early Wednesday, June 7, 2017.
Their affected clients, probably ranging from thousands to millions of people expressed negative thoughts via Twitter with some shouting "hacked!", to which the BPI refutes of course.
"Due to an internal data processing error, some clients may have seen their accounts debited twice or credited twice for a past transaction" - BPI via Twitter
Meanwhile, Bitcoin with its fellow altcoins continues to surge to new heights, gaining its technology's trust from more people.
BPI is the oldest, 4th largest bank (in terms of assets), and largest in terms of market capitalization in Philippines which is owned by Ayala Corporation - the largest conglomerate in the country.
Many BPI Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) have been temporarily offline since the said "glitch"
As many people express that BPI was hacked, it raises some matters such as if BPI is just playing bluff. But I guess we'll find out the truth soon, or not.
