ANZ under investigation for privacy breach

12/01/2012

The privacy commissioner is investigating ANZ Bank after customers were sent strangers' account details by mistake.

ANZ has shut down its online bank statement service indefinitely after customers were given the wrong account statements this week.

An ANZ spokesman yesterday revealed the bank had become aware of the problem on Monday, when it “reinstated” the online statement service which had been suspended as a result of a different security bug before Christmas.

“While we are only aware of a small number of instances we immediately decided to disable online statements until the issue is fully resolved.”

Privacy Commissioner Timothy Pilgrim yesterday said he was pleased ANZ had “promptly sought to notify affected customers.”
