......affects 400,000 customers
Data about loan accounts belonging to 400,000 customers of Italy's largest bank has been put at risk by two security breaches. Unicredit said that personal data and account numbers could have been stolen.But it added that the accounts' passwords had not been compromised, so the hackers could not have carried out unauthorised transactions. It represents the biggest cyber-incident of its kind reported by an Italian bank to date. Unicredit has blamed an unnamed "third-party provider" for the incidents. It said the first was thought to have occurred between September and October 2016, and the second happened some time over this month and June. "UniCredit has launched an audit and has informed all the relevant authorities," it said in a statement.
