US regional bank hacked


Hackers infiltrated the systems of Commerce Bank and accessed the records of 20 customers, the US regional bank said today.

The attack by persons unknown was partially thwarted - but not before a database of 3,000 records was hacked into and the data of 20 exposed. Compromised data included personal information such as names, addresses, Social Security numbers, phone numbers and, in a few cases, Commerce Bank account numbers, the Columbia Business Journal reports.
