“The transfer operations of funds from the BNA+ application to the accounts identified with the CVU (virtual wallets) were normalized. There was no type of economic impact on third parties, whether companies or individuals”, sources from the bank indicated.
They explained that the origin of the technical problem was generated in the “synchronization on the messaging generated by the Red Link and the central systems” of the bank.
In this sense, the Banco Nación reported that “it began an investigation to determine the causes and will act in accordance with the law.”
Earlier, the BNA had clarified that it had only suspended transfers from the application, and that the rest of the operations could be carried out “absolutely normally, whether from the BNA+, home banking, ATMs, branches and the rest of the channels”.
It all started when the Twitter account @BugBNA alerted about the flaw, which encouraged operations: “Banco Nación is giving away unlimited money, they have to be transferred from BNA+ to Mercado Pago or a Fintech CVU, putting the reason for the transfer in the Expropriation option and the transfer will not be discounted. They can repeat it infinitely. Hug”.
Even the journalist specialized in security and information technology, Julio Ernesto Lopez, spoke of a “bug” of Banco Nación when receiving reports of users sending money via transfers to other accounts duplicating the money. A “bug” refers to a computer failure that triggers an undesired result.
In most cases, a “bug” is created by an error on the part of those who develop the code of a software or system. Bugs are very common and are the reason why most applications and programs need permanent review and updating.
