It’s been a rough weekend for 20,000 customers of British retail Tesco Bank: they’ve witnessed their bank accounts being plundered and have been phoning the bank to report the theft, but most of them couldn’t get through.
The attack started on Friday. The bank identified suspicious activity in a subset of their customer’s current accounts, and made sure that online payments and payments that could be effected without entering the PIN can’t be made from the affected accounts.
