HSBC re-issues 6000 atm/credit cards due to ID theft

February 29th, 2008

If you belong to HSBC, you may want to change your pin number...quickly!  The UK bank is re-issuing  atm/debit cards which  raises the OH SH#T! factor seven-fold. They aren't just issuing a teeny little press release...they are  trying frantically to save their skins.  Why, you ask? It is because customer card data has been stolen. Back in 1996, a security flaw made 3 million customers vulnerable to hacks and id issues. They obviously haven't learned their lesson yet. They have been called the most identity theft prone bank today.
