Citigroup’s Japanese credit card unit said personal information for more than 92,000 of its customers was illegally sold to a third party. The information exposed included the names, account numbers addresses, phone numbers birthdates, and sex of 92,408 credit card holders. The personal identification numbers and card security codes were not accessed. Citigroup disclosed that credit card customers had $2.7 million stolen from their accounts as a result of the June data breach. While victimized customers can get new account numbers and aren’t responsible for unauthorized charges, consumers are increasingly wary of how their information is handled by big companies.
