Hacker Reckz0r claims breach of 79 banks, customer information released
6/19/2012
A hacker by the name of Reckz0r claimed on his Twitter feed that he has breached more than 79 U.S. and foreign banks. Customer information of the breach was released in a data dump file which is more than 50 GB in size.  More than 1,700 separate account details were included in the cache.  Some of the information contained in the data dump includes: customer names, the debit or credit card type (Visa or Mastercard), postal addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses.  

The hacker claims in a Pastebin post that the credit card details itself (i.e. card number, expiration date, CCV code, etc.) was not released for security reasons.  Also in that post was a link to download the text file which contains the data of the more than 1,700 accounts that were breached.  More information about this breach can be found on this CNet article.
