Danske Bank Error Exposed 20,000 Protected Client Addresses

Danske Bank A/S last year inadvertently revealed the addresses of about 20,600 of its clients to outsiders.

The Danish lender “experienced an issue causing protected addresses to be visible to recipients of domestic payment transactions,” it said in a statementBloomberg Terminal Tuesday. The data was only visible if recipients opened detailed payment information, and other payment types were not affected, it said, attributing the breach to “human error during a planned system update.”
