and about 40,000 people had their bank account info stolen....

they deactivated the cards associated with those accounts, but failed to tell the users/owners of said accounts.

NICE. :mumble: :angry: :mumble: :nuts:

I'll tell my pops, lucky I'm USBANK.

When did this happen? My card worked yesterday so maybe I'm one of the lucky ones.

I just bought 24hrs of infernet on the UPS wireless system for 7 bucks, but... im surfin at starbucks who charges 10 bucks.....

 

[pnj]

not sure exactly when it happend. my wife and I have a couple different accounts and her card wouldn't work yesterday. it said, "invalid account number..." or something.

she called the bank and they said, "oh yea, we got hacked so we shut the accounts off......"
seems like they should have contacted their clients and let them know.
you know, so they didn't, say, go to lunch, and not be able to pay for their meal....:nuts:

40,000 phone calls is no easy feat.

 

[firetoole]

I go a letter from my local bank that they got hacked and told me to cut up my debit card and I got a new one funny my wife diddn't get a letter/new card she's on the same account

40,000 phone calls is no easy feat.

40,000 phone calls is no easy feat.

Then they best be getting started.

I bank at a small bank. I can't stand the big banking giants.

 

[Toshi]

yea, they have this new thing out called e-mail......

which would be a horrible way to inform customers given all the phishing scams

 

[pnj]

which would be a horrible way to inform customers given all the phishing scams

yea, mabye.

either way, not having your card work when you know it should and you owe a store money for a product you've already used, sucks.

 

[reflux]

40,000 phone calls is no easy feat.

But they also have these automatic systems that can make 40k calls at once and inform the user of the situation, and give them a number to call.

We had a WAMU account for all of 1.5 months before we closed it. Worst bank ever.

"Actually, yes we do put a 5 day hold on cash deposits to the ATM."


????

F*ck you very much.

 

[ncrider]

Dang. My debit card works so I guess I'm good.

A couple years ago I switched to WAMU after Well F***Go sent my debit card to the wrong address and somehow let the people who received my card activate it and use it for a few weeks. I got my money back, but left Wells for good. :nuts:
