The US banks reporting security breaches of debit cards:
Mainstreet Bank, Savers Bank, The Village Bank, Watertown Savings Bank, Webster Five Cents Savings Bank and Eagle Bank say some debit cards may have been compromised following a security breach at
a merchant's payment card platform.
Says Savers Bank,
“We have been notified by MasterCard International of a suspected security breach of a merchant’s network, transactions that may have compromised some of Savers Bank’s debit card numbers.”
Affected customers at Eagle Bank and Savers Bank will receive new cards automatically.
Webster Five Cents Savings Bank offers fewer details on the source of the breach, but says it’s also issuing mandatory new debit cards.
Watertown Savings Bank is asking customers to be vigilant, issuing new cards upon request.
“The breach included the capture of some of your personal information, such as your name and card number…
…we do ask that you remain vigilant on monitoring your account activity for the next 12 to 24 months and report any unusual or suspicious activity immediately. If you prefer that we issue a new card please contact the bank.”
Mainstreet Bank says the breach occurred “June 28, 2023 through April 26, 2024” and involved personally identifiable or protected data.
