U.S. Bank notified some customers on Friday that their personal information was accidentally shared by a third-party vendor, according to letters posted to the California Attorney General’s website.
On Sept. 27, a third-party collections recovery group accidentally shared the names, addresses, Social Security numbers, birthdays, closed account numbers and outstanding balances of about 11,000 customers, a U.S. Bank spokesperson told Banking Dive.
The bank found the error immediately and all recipients of the file agreed to cooperate with U.S. Bank in securing the information, the bank said.
