Subject: Bank customer data on a computer sold on eBay
Written By: Philip Eno on 08/26/08 at 5:18 pm
An investigation is under way into how a computer containing bank customers' personal data was sold on eBay.
The computer, bought by IT manager Andrew Chapman for £77, had the sensitive details on its hard drive.
Mr Chapman, from Oxford, said the machine contained information on several million bank customers.
Details of customers of three companies, including the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) and its subsidiary, Natwest, were involved.

It said historical information relating to credit card applications for its bank and others had been on the machine.
