The study showed the effect of cyber threats or technical problems on customer attitude towards e-banking services. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect the data, and 400 respondents from eight divisions (Dhaka, Barisal, Rangpur, Chittagong, Khulna, Mymensingh, Rajshahi, and Sylhet) participated in the study. The researcher used a linear regression model to assess the relationship between dependent and independent variables. STATA and SPSS v. 25 program environment were used to conduct the statistical analysis. To determine the reliability of the data, Cronbach's Alpha was conducted and found acceptable internal consistency. Protection method (PM), Purposes of using e-banking (PUE), and Technical problems and challenges (TPC) were the independent variables. The dependent variables were ease of use (EU) and Security reason (SR). The study used two regression models for two dependent variables. The regression model (1) showed a significant effect of SR on PM, and there was no significant effect on SR on PUE and TPC. Another regression model (2) showed a significant effect of EU on PM and PUE, and there was no significant effect of EU on TPC. However, the total variance explained was still low in model 1 (22.6%) and model 2 (44.9%). The people of Bangladesh should be aware of e-banking services and technical problems. Future research should be conducted to discover more data and other variables affecting customer attitudes towards e-banking.
