Citi Not Only Waited To Tell Its Credit Card Customers About Data Breach, But It Was Almost Twice As Big A Breach As They First Admitted Hot

As of May 24, the bank began preparing to replace about 218,000 credit cards and to prepare notification letters to its customers. Those were mailed beginning June 3, but itwaited to notify the public until June 9. 

 

While the data thieves captured names, account numbers, and email addresses of 360,000 customers, they reportedly did not get Social Security numbers, expiration dates, or security codes on their  cards.

 

It will be interesting to see if Federal rules requiring disclsoure of breaches of personally identifiable information are used to penalize Citi.
