Woman gets 75,000 bank statements
A woman who asked for her bank statement was sent financial details of 75,000 other customers too.
Stephanie McLaughlan, 22, recieved five packages from Halifax Bank of Scotland, each containing 500 sheets crammed with confidential information.
Each page details 30 customers' names, their account and sort code numbers and how much they have paid in and out.
According to the Mirror, Stephanie from Aberdeen said: "I did not expect them to be so lax with security as to be sending out private and confidential information of so many of their customers.
"In the wrong hands these documents would allow criminals to run amok through people's personal and financial lives."
The bank has apologised and is launching an immediate inquiry.
