Russia's largest bank and third-largest bank in Europe, Sberbank announced on 
Wednesday of a possible personal data leak.

Late on October 2, 2019, Sberbank became aware of a possible leak of credit 
card data affecting at least 200 Sberbank clients.

An internal investigation is underway. Its results will be unveiled in a 
separate statement. A criminal wrongdoing of an employee is the primary lead, 
as no breach could have occurred from the outside – the database is isolated 
and has no outer network access.

Refreshingly, there was no mention of the classic data-breach disclosure 
boiler-plate terminology that Sberbank takes the security of your personal data 
very seriously.
