Tesco Bank Busted by Scammers

How can anybody thinking of opening a bank account, think that Tesco's could be a wise choice?

I never reporter it on here as its just a side bank for me so only lost 75k but says i will get refunded

reported*

i know someone who put a 5k cheque in from cameroon and they closed the account with nothing else ever said

So just think of real scams

If they can get this info out of Tesco how safe is the clubcard info? That's got quite a profile on customers habits.

I don't want it leaked onto the internet how many cans of value beans I eat a week, and I'm sure none of you want your tissue consumption advertised.

I wonder if they outsourced any of it. Some documentary a couple years ago had a guy in undercover filming being offered bulk customer details from call centres..

Hopefully they do leak club cards we will see who is eating cavier and drinking what they say

Well I suppose there are two ways this could happen? Either a hack live to accounts which sounds like gross incompetence and very unlikely or, and this sounds more likely, a leak of customer details enough to do lots of online transactions? Like the name, address, post code, card numbers (perhaps with the magic 3 digits on the back). Maybe guy walked out of the office with it on a USB stick, a sort of Tesco Value Snowdon

They only have 136k accounts and 40k of them were attacked, so looks like not only an inside job, but also shocking security.  I would imagine that the FCA fine will be huge in relation to their size, they might even order them to shut down.

i know 3 of them have ZERO in them

Got three accounts with them here.  Thankfully they are ok

If they've leaked your personal info like name/address/birthday maybe even password questions it might not be over.
That they've leaked the customer info, that's just a total guess of course but a reasonable one.
That seems to be the normal thing when these big corporations get done over.

136k accounts, and many will be inactive, and 40k of them hit? That's .. a very high %.

Says internet hack

I got a Tesco shopping account i might say my loaf never came last week or maybe a few of the more expensive items like tinned peas and carrots but not sure they would buy it and also the delivery guy looked quite rough so if he got wind would he come back for a quiet word?

if theyve got my name, address and birthday there really is no excuse for not getting a card this year.

its a complete back door job, not individual passwords.  Someone has a script just going through accounts and transferring out money.

where is the dosh being transferred too

Exactly - a  Proper question

It is not like the hackers are queuing up at 40,000 ATM Cash Machines.

this could be an insurance job or whatever the banks call it


tesco bank going nowhere time to close/sell so they plan a hack
