Three US banks find security breaches revealing hundreds of customers’ personal information

There has been an unauthorized disclosure of sensitive personally identifiable information by three institutions in the United States.

Citizens Bank alleges that it experienced a breach during the initial half of the year in a filing with the Office of the Vermont Attorney General.

“Citizens was informed of an incident on July 10, 2024, in which images containing your personal information may have been shared with an unauthorized party between January 10, 2024, and June 13, 2024.”

The images contained names, account numbers, social security numbers, and other personally identifying data, according to the 15th-largest US lender. “This was a one-time event that affected about 100 people.”

Conversely, Truist Bank disclosed in a filing with the Office of the Attorney General of California that a security breach at a third-party debt collection agency earlier this year may have resulted in the compromise of customer data held by a service provider.

The eighth-largest lender in the United States has stated that the information that was potentially impacted varies by consumer and may include names, addresses, account numbers, dates of birth, and social security numbers.

Lastly, First National Bank has announced that the account information of 107 consumers has been compromised.

Last month, the lender alleges that a physical card skimming device was installed on two of its ATMs, resulting in the theft of names, card numbers, card expiration dates, PINs, and card verification value (CVV) numbers.

The bank has reported that fraudulent withdrawals have already occurred for certain customers, and they are currently having their transactions reimbursed.
