Thousands of S'pore credit cards may be at risk
SINGAPORE) Ten thousand holders of Singapore-issued MasterCards may have had their names, bank details and account numbers accessed by a snooper.
Sign of trouble: The breach occurred at CardSystems Solutions, a third-party processor in the US
The Singapore cards are part of a worldwide potential fraud involving more than 40 million accounts, MasterCard International said yesterday.
On Saturday, MasterCard said it was notifying member financial institutions of a breach of payment card data, which potentially exposed more than 40 million cards of all brands to fraud.
Of the 40 million, 13.9 million were MasterCard-brand cards.
About 0.07 per cent, or 10,000, of the cards were issued in Singapore.
The security breach occurred at CardSystems Solutions - a third-party processor of payment card data.
Third-party processors process transactions on behalf of financial institutions and merchants.
Tim Morris, MasterCard's regional head of security and risk management, said that digital forensic investigations have identified that globally, 68,000 MasterCard accounts have definitely been stolen out of the 13.9 million initially identified as being at risk.
MasterCard was unable to provide details on the percentage of the compromised cards that are Singapore-issued.
Mr Morris added that the company had supplied issuing banks in Singapore with details of the accounts at risk.
The banks are now investigating to determine which accounts have been affected.
MasterCard was quick to insist that even with those cards that have definitely been compromised, it cannot be assumed that illicit transactions have been made.
'While the breach of payment card data has been reported, this does not, however, imply that the cards have been used for fraudulent transactions,' said TV Seshadri, MasterCard's country manager for Singapore.
There are about 1.77 million MasterCards in circulation in Singapore

Ok, no need to call the bank, the bank will call u if you are one of the "lucky" card holder
