Citibank hacked?
1 comments
FWIW, a compromise at Citibank is not the most likely way for that to have happened. It is more likely to be a large third-party compromise (many organizations manage to lose X00,000 cards in an incident) which gets reported to Visa/Mastercard per the PCI procedures. Those reports get fanned out to issuing banks, which often will take proactive steps to limit your liability, and by extension their own.
Make sense. Thanks.
Your Citi® Dividend Platinum Select® Visa® Card account ending in xxxx was illegally obtained as a result of a data compromise and is at risk for unauthorized use, you will not be responsible for any unauthorized charges!. To minimize this risk, we have issued a card(s) with a new account number ending in xxxx.
