CASPER, Wyo. — Hilltop Bank has taken its banking system offline after a cybersecurity breach this week, leaving online and mobile services disabled for customers.
Bank personnel first observed degradation across the institution’s IT infrastructure on Tuesday, Sept. 8, officials said. The outage prompted Hilltop Bank to take systems offline while it investigates and responds to the incident.
Bill Salvin, a representative for Hilltop Bank and True Companies, said it was later discovered, though the report did not specify what was found.

Beyond the initial observation of degraded IT performance on Sept. 8 and the statement from Bill Salvin, no further details about the nature of the breach or the timeline for restoring services were provided in the report.
