Nedbank client data hack - All the details

Last week Nedbank announced that it has discovered a security breach at Computer Services Ltd, a third-party service provider which issues SMS and email marketing on behalf of the bank.

This security breach compromised the personal information of Nedbank clients, including names, ID numbers, telephone numbers, physical addresses, and email addresses.
 
While this data was sent to Computer Services in an encrypted format, it currently looks like it was stored in plain text.

MyBroadband asked Computer Facilities about the data breach and whether the data was stored in encrypted format, but the company did not respond by the time of publication.

Complicit.

“We have done everything in our power to contain the incident. We have been on the premises of the supplier, deleted all the Nedbank data and they shut them off the Internet,” he said.

and the drives?
 
Is this is a case of a bank selling info to 3rd party marketers again?
 
The Nedbank CEO, however, does not anticipate legal action because of the incident. This, he said, is thanks to the effective way in which Nedbank has handled the situation.

So after the damage is done and you said how sorry you are, that makes the security breach just go away ?

You still haven't told us who gave you permission to give our personal and confidential information to a third party.
 
I got communications although this is because our corporate credit cards are with Nedbank. I don't bank with Nedbank on a personal basis.

It's the way? Why should he take responsibility? In fact, he should step down with a few other(s), but that might be to vintage cheese for them.
 
I received a sms from them today telling me that my cell number has been changed to my correct cell number on their system. I did that in branch on 07/02/2020.
