Goodbody takes client portal offline after cyber incident

Goodbody, one of Ireland’s largest stockbrokers, has shut its online client portal after identifying a cybersecurity incident on Tuesday.

In a Wednesday evening update to clients, the firm said investigations to date have found no evidence that customers’ assets – cash or holdings – were affected. The exact nature of the incident was not disclosed.

Goodbody said it has engaged independent cyber‑security specialists, introduced enhanced security measures and increased surveillance to bolster the platform’s resilience. “We continue to monitor all activity closely,” the statement read, adding that the portal was “proactively taken offline” while work continues to restore the service.

Clients were advised that no action was required but were urged to remain vigilant for any unexpected emails, calls or messages requesting personal or account details.

The Dublin‑based firm, wholly owned by AIB, reported that pre‑tax profits more than doubled last year to €16.1 million, with revenue rising 23% to €113.7 million. At the end of 2025, €2.8 billion of client money was on deposit. Goodbody employs over 400 staff across Dublin, Cork, Galway and a London branch.
