Hackers have stolen data from thousands of Citibank customers in the US, the bank has confirmed.
The breach exposed the names of customers, account numbers and contact information.
But other key data, such as date of birth and card security codes were not compromised, the bank said in a statement.
Citigroup is the latest in a string of high profile companies to be targeted by cyber criminals.
It has been criticised for not telling customers about the breach when it happened in May.

Around 200,000 customers were affected the statement said although earlier the bank had said it could affect up to 1% of its 21 million users.
It did not detail how the breach had occurred.
Read more on BBC or any of the hundreds of news sources that are covering this breach this morning. I expect we’ll have more to add to this one. I don’t see any statement linked from citibank.com at the time of this posting.
