India’s ICICI Bank exposed thousands of credit cards to ‘wrong’ users


ICICI Bank, one of India's top private banks, exposed sensitive data of thousands of new credit cards to "wrong" customers.

The Mumbai-based bank confirmed to TechCrunch Thursday that its digital channels “erroneously mapped” about 17,000 credit cards issued in the past few days to “wrong” users. The issue came to light after some customers raised concerns on social media about the bank’s iMobile Pay app exposing unknown customers’ credit card details, including their full number and card verification value (CVV). “Our customers are our utmost priority, and we are wholeheartedly dedicated to safe guarding their interests,” said Kausik Datta, corporate communications head at ICICI Bank, said in a statement emailed to TechCrunch.
