Following what was dubbed as the largest cyber-attack in U.K. banking history, Tesco Bank has a lot to answer for in terms of the ‘suspicious activity’ of 40,000 bank accounts, which led to thousands being successfully hacked, and money going missing.<\/p>\n

What originally was thought to be a hack into 20,000 customer accounts was revised down to 9,000, in which \u00a32.5 million was stolen.
\n<\/p>\n

NCSC and NCA<\/h2>\n

Not that it makes the situation any better, but Tesco Bank has reimbursed all stolen funds from the cyber-hack. The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) is now on board to investigate what happened and make sure this sort of thing doesn\u2019t happen again.<\/p>\n

The NCSC is an authoritative voice on information security in the U.K. who aims to ensure that people are safer online, and to ensure that the critical national infrastructure of the U.K. is good.<\/p>\n

The NCSC along with the National Crime Agency are looking into the cyber-attack.<\/p>\n

Cybersecurity expert thoughts…<\/h3>\n

Cybersecurity experts like Ian Mann said the size of the breach indicates that Tesco\u2019s internal system was hacked. Mann criticises Tesco\u2019s system by stating that the method of access for its customers was \u201cweak for this type of system\u201d.<\/p>\n

The reason for this is because the username is your email address by default, and you are only required to enter certain digits from your numeric PIN, according to reports. By only requiring limited digits, it could make it almost impossible to encrypt the PINs. Without an encrypted PIN, this could have given easy access to the hacker(s) by revealing all usernames and passwords.<\/p>\n

Another cyber-security company Cyberint<\/em> said that warning signals were posted on several dark web forums, with hackers\/members commenting on Tesco Bank being a \u201ccash milking cow\u201d and \u201ceasy to cash out\u201d. The forum detailed how members were discussing a \u201cbrute forced\u201d technique to access the bank accounts, and this was apparently tested on thousands of login and passwords until one worked.<\/p>\n

There are no substantial links between the stolen money and these claims, but it\u2019s very coincidental. It\u2019s hard to pinpoint one answer to the data breach, as the Bank has declined to comment as it is part of an ongoing criminal investigation.<\/p>\n

Tesco Bank ignored warning signals<\/h3>\n

There seems to have been multiple warning signals as a second cybersecurity company said it had warned Tesco of some problems related to its mobile apps four months prior to the incident. With Tesco being a \u2018second-tier\u2019 bank, this may have been difficult for them to develop coherent mobile security software when compared with the top tier banks like Natwest and Barclays.<\/p>\n

Financial penalties<\/h3>\n

As a company, Tesco Bank seemingly failed to adhere to the Data Protection Principles stemming from the Data Protections Act \u2013 that organisations have a duty to protect their customers\u2019 data from data breaches. By failing to do so, Tesco will probably be penalised by the Information Commissioner\u2019s Office (ICO). The ICO has the authority to impose fines of up to \u00a3500,000. Following a revamp of EU data protection rules, I\u2019m sure Tesco will be writing a hefty cheque for its failure to protect their customers\u2019 data, as there is one estimate that Tesco will be fined nearly \u00a32 billion under the new General Data Protection Regulation.<\/p>\n

Lesson learned<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a word of warning for all companies and organisations that cybersecurity should be at the forefront of everyone\u2019s mind. If companies are proactive about their cybersecurity, they wouldn\u2019t have to face the disastrous consequences. I\u2019m sure this will be a lesson learned for Tesco Bank to take data protection more seriously.<\/p>\n
