Computer sold on eBay held bank details
BANK details of over a million customers have been discovered on a computer sold on eBay.
The highly-sensitive personal information on Royal Bank of Scotland, American Express and Nat West customers was stored on the computer's hard drive, it was reported today.
Names, addresses, mobile numbers, bank account details, sort codes, credit card numbers, mothers' maiden names and signatures were all amongst the personal information discovered.
The banking information was being held by the archiving firm Graphic Data, which copies paperwork from some of Britain's biggest financial organisations, then stores it digitally.
It was on a computer previously used at the company's archive in Essex and sold by a former worker for 35.88 earlier this month.
A spokesman for Nat West/RBS said: "Any breach of these procedures is totally unacceptable and is investigated as a matter of urgency."
