Nearly half a million customers hit by Lloyds IT glitch that exposed transaction data, committee says

Lloyds Banking Group exposed personal data for up to 447,936 customers in an IT glitch that allowed users to view other customers' transactions, account details and national insurance numbers, the UK Treasury Committee said. The incident increases regulatory and legal risk, could trigger remediation costs and fines, and may pressure Lloyds' reputation and shares in the low-single-digit percent range. Monitor Treasury Committee findings, potential enforcement actions, customer remediation plans and management responses.
