According to reports, Santander has recently experienced a security breach. It has been discovered that hackers were able to gain access to the personal information of 30 million customers and are now attempting to sell it on the dark web. This troubling news has been linked to the work of a cybercriminal group known as ShinyHunters.
The group claims to have obtained sensitive data such as HR records, bank account details, credit card numbers, and even current account balances. What's even more concerning is that this hack comes just one day after ShinyHunters announced their successful breach of Ticketmaster, where they gained access to over 500 million customer details.
Santander, a global company with 200,000 employees, has confirmed that the data has indeed been stolen. It seems that the bank was aware of the breach earlier this month and even released a statement about it on their website. The statement reads, "Following an investigation, we have determined that certain information of customers in Santander Chile, Spain, and Uruguay, as well as current and former employees of the group, has been accessed."
It's important to note that the bank has reassured customers that no transactional data or login credentials that could allow unauthorized access to accounts were included in the stolen data. This includes online banking details and passwords. However, this is still a major security breach and Santander urges all customers to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity on their accounts.
This is a developing story and we will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available. It goes without saying that this news is troubling and we hope that Santander will take all necessary steps to ensure the safety and security of their customers' personal information.
