An Equity Bank employee was released on a cash bail of Sh200,000 after denying charges of hacking the bank’s computer system, attempting to steal from the financial institution and conspiring to commit a felony.
Ian Muhia Maina appeared before Milimani Resident Magistrate Irene Thamara, where he pleaded not guilty to three charges arising from allegations that he duplicated two user profiles on the bank’s Finacle banking platform in a suspected theft plot.
The court granted him cash bail of Sh200,000 or an alternative bond of Sh600,000 pending further proceedings.
