Apr 27, 2006 -- Major banking breach could affect you

Clark talked with a caller recently about the ATM skimmers all over the world that are ripping you off. The man was in Italy on vacation when someone in France found out his card number and secret code from a skimmer and emptied out his checking account. It’s going on every minute and there is a huge heist going on now that banks are apparently trying to keep secret, according to the Orlando Sentinel. A computer hack that happened a month ago is responsible for compromising millions of customer accounts and secret codes. Instead of telling customers the truth about what has happened, banks are just sending people new cards, the paper reports. So, if you get a new card the mail all of a sudden without ordering one, the debit fraud debacle could by why. It means you must monitor your accounts very closely. If you bank online, watch your balances very carefully. It’s happened to multiple banks around the country, so be aware.
