Citibank ATM Network Breached? Cards Locked Down

Posted on Mar 6, 2006 by Tom Fragala

There is a lot of buzz on blogs worldwide about this. Apparently Citibank’s ATM network was compromised in some countries so Citibank allegedly shut down access to ATM’s in those countries. This story is developing…

One of the largest banking chains in the world, Citibank ran a lockdown of ATM cards for customer traveling or otherwise in Canada, Europe or Russia. Apparently, the network had been hacked. Unfortunately, Citibank seems somewhat lacking as some reported Citibank failed to notify them before they used their card to attempt to retrieve money.

Update: The blog BoingBoing, seems to have broken the story and posted this update.
