1.2 million Bank of America accounts jeopardized
by Laughing Boy at 10:35 pm EST, Feb 25, 2005 |
Bank of America said Friday it lost computer tapes containing account information on 1.2 million federal employee credit cards, among them those of U.S. senators, potentially exposing them to theft or hacking. The bank told CNN/Money that federal government's General Services Administration (GSA) cardholders' account information may have been on the tapes. The tapes were lost in December, but a bank spokeswoman told Reuters that bank officials were not allowed to notify cardholders until they received permission from federal law enforcement authorities WAY to GO B of A!! |

] WAY to GO B of A!! I work for GSA as a co-op student. Luckily, they don't give peons such as myself credit cards. Also luckily, they're obsessed with documentation, so fraud should be pretty easy to spot. |
