If you belong to HSBC, you may want to change your pin number…quickly! The UK bank is re-issuing atm/debit cards which raises the OH SH#T! factor seven-fold. They aren’t just issuing a teeny little press release…they are trying frantically to save their skins. Why, you ask? It is because customer card data has been stolen. Back in 1996, a security flaw made 3 million customers vulnerable to hacks and id issues. They obviously haven’t learned their lesson yet. They have been called the most identity theft prone bank today.
