Two Billion-Dollar Banks Suffer Data Breaches – Names, Social Security Numbers and Account Details of 1,890 People Impacted

Two banking giants recently reported data breaches that impacted thousands of people in the state of Texas. The Phoenix-based Western Alliance Bank reported a breach that impacted 1,222 Texans, according to a notification published on the Texas Attorney General’s website. The notification doesn’t include the number of out-of-state residents that were impacted, so the total scope of the breach remains unknown. Stolen information includes names, addresses, social security numbers, driver’s license numbers, government-issued ID numbers, account numbers, credit card numbers, debit card numbers and birth dates. Western Alliance Bank reports nearly $83 billion in consolidated assets, according to U.S. Federal Reserve Statistics. In a separate filing with the Office of the Maine Attorney General earlier this year, the bank reported that an unauthorized actor exploited a vulnerability in a third-party file transfer software system it uses, stealing information from 21,899 customers. It remains unclear if both filings are related to the same breach or not. The other recent breach involved the Texas-based Peoples Bank, which impacted 668 people in the state. Stolen info from Peoples Bank includes names, addresses, social security numbers, driver’s license numbers, account numbers, credit card numbers, debit card numbers, medical information and birth dates. Peoples Bank, which is based in Lubbock, reports more than $1.1 billion in consolidated assets, according to the Federal Reserve.
