http://www.ireland.com/newspaper/frontpage/2007/1123/1195682121693.html?via=me A significant error at AIB bank earlier this month led it to send 15,000 notifications to its customers containing the private bank account details of other individuals. A total of 11,000 AIB customers are affected by the move, writes John Downes. Last night, it also emerged that some of the bank account details sent to AIB customers in recent days relate not just to AIB accounts, but also reveal the names and bank account details of customers with other banks. It is understood that as many as 7,500 of the notices contained the names, addresses and full bank account numbers of AIB customers. This means these details, contained in notices relating to "inward" payments, are now in the possession of other customers of the bank.
