Recently, Landesbank Berlin has reported that it has lost credit card details of thousands of its customers. The news says that the lost data includes the PIN numbers as well. This data leak has created a wave of dissatisfaction among the customers, as most important information has been lost.  

Another company, AtosWorldline, hired by LBB was held responsible for the data breach. This data loss is considered severe because of the quality of data that has been used. The stolen details can be exploited to extract money out of the customers’ accounts. Reports say that the data of customers of several other banks have also been compromised.
