Three US Banks Reveal Data Breaches, Exposing Hundreds of Customers’ Personal and Account Information

Three US banks are warning customers that their sensitive personally identifiable information has been exposed.

In a filing with the Office of the Vermont Attorney General, Citizens Bank says it suffered a breach in the first half of this year.

“On July 10, 2024, Citizens was alerted to an incident where images containing your personal information may have been shared with an unauthorized party sometime between January 10, 2024, and June 13, 2024.”

The 15th-largest US lender says that the images contained names, account numbers, social security numbers and other personally identifying data.

“This was an isolated incident affecting approximately 100 customers.”

Truist Bank, on the other hand, says in a filing with the Office of the Attorney General of California that customer data held by a service provider was potentially compromised following a security incident from a third-party debt collection agency earlier this year.

The eighth-largest lender in the US says the information that was potentially impacted varies by customer and may include names, addresses, account numbers, dates of birth and social security numbers.

Finally, First National Bank says 107 customers have just had their account information exposed.

The lender says someone placed a physical card skimming devices on two of its ATMs last month, stealing names, card numbers, card expiration dates, PINs, and card verification value (CVV) numbers.

The bank says some of its customers have already been hit with fraudulent withdrawals, and those transactions are being reimbursed.
