Citibank Cards Blocked in Russia, Britain and Canada

Date: 2006-03-09

(Themoscowtimes.com) NEW YORK — Citibank said Wednesday that it had blocked the use of some of its PIN-based debit cards after detecting fraudulent cash withdrawals in three countries.

The bank, the retail arm of Citigroup, the largest U.S. financial institution, said the debit-card information apparently was obtained by thieves in "a third-party business' information breach" last year.

Citibank did not name the merchant or processing firm, but industry officials familiar with the case said the breach occurred in the United States.

Citibank said it began monitoring affected accounts after the breach, "and in mid-February, we detected several hundred fraudulent cash withdrawals in three countries."

The industry officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue, said the three countries were Britain, Canada and Russia.

The bank said it blocked transactions on cards that may have been compromised in the breach after the fraud was detected. Debit cards often require the use of PINs, or personal identification numbers, for security.

"We are in the process of contacting affected customers individually, and can provide new cards to customers affected by this third-party breach anywhere in the world they may be traveling," Citibank said in a statement.

"The decision was backed by 77 votes out of 107," the spokesman said. Four other cities in largely Russian-speaking areas in the country's east and south have passed similar resolutions, which have sparked nationwide debate over the status of Russian and calls from the predominantly Ukrainian-speaking west o...An article from WNDU.com of South Bend, Indiana, describes Bethel College assistant professor Angela Meyers’ brush with a shady dating site. Even though the site was seductively named (for Meyers, anyway) “Executive Christian Dating,” seems like the site was not performing in what one might describe as a “Christian-like” way. Meyers paid over $900 for a six month membership, which supposedly would entitle her to a counselor who would match her with other “executive Christians.” Imagine her sur...
