A data hack is spreading. It is now clear that more data sets from Deutsche Bank, Comdirect and ING customers are affected than expected.
According to banks, the data leak at the account switching service provider Majorel that became known in the summer affected significantly more customers than initially known. In addition, the data has now appeared on the Darknet, a hidden part of the Internet, and is probably being offered for sale there. Customers of ING, Deutsche Bank, Postbank and Comdirect are affected. ING spoke of a low five-digit number of customer data that had been stolen. Most recently there was talk of a four-digit number. The data collected includes first and last names as well as the IBAN. “We are also in close contact with the service provider as well as with the relevant data protection and law enforcement authorities. We are continuously monitoring the situation,” said a spokesman for ING.
