Nearly half a million customers hit by Lloyds IT glitch that exposed transaction data, committee says

March 27 (Reuters) – Lloyds Banking Group exposed the personal data of up to 447,936 customers during an ​IT glitch earlier this month ‌that allowed users to see other customers’ transactions, including account details and national insurance numbers, Britain’s Treasury Committee said on Friday.

The ‌incident ​highlights the vulnerability ⁠of Britain’s digital banking ⁠infrastructure, such as apps and websites, as lenders slash physical branch networks to cut costs and shift ​customers online.
