Citigroup Inc. Hacked, 200,000 Bank Card Holders Affected [reuters.com]
Citigroup Inc said computer hackers breached the bank's network and accessed the data of about 200,000 bank card holders in North America, the latest of a string of cyber attacks on high-profile companies.

Citi said the names of customers, account numbers and contact information, including email addresses, were viewed in the breach, which the Financial Times said was discovered by the bank in early May.

However, Citi said other information such as birth dates, social security numbers, card expiration dates and card security codes (CVV) were not compromised.

It's bad enough when a merchant screws up and lest this stuff happen, it's much worse when a bank does it.

Just my opinion of course.
