2026 — customer reports of unauthorized card debits after March breach wave (Jul)
Cataloged incident. Indexed July 3, 2026. Daily Post Nigeria reported that customers of Providus Bank—recently merged with Unity Bank as ProvidusUnity following a June 2026 Supreme Court clearance—publicly complained on social media about unauthorized transactions on their debit cards months after a March 2026 criminal-forum wave (actor ByteToBreach) that exposed data from Sterling Bank, Remita, and other Nigerian institutions.

No attested victim count is published for this row yet. See the providus-unity-unauthorized-debits 2026 and canonical BreachHistory entry.
