Though the hacking attack on Citi was revealed earlier this week, the company also revealed it first learned of the incident last month, the report said. This has led to some lawmakers criticizing the institution for the way it handled the situation, and demanding to know how it plans to ensure this type of attack doesn’t happen again.
The incident affected about 200,000 of Citi’s 21 million North American credit card customers, exposing their names, addresses, email addresses and account numbers. However, other information, including Social Security numbers, was not accessed by the criminals.
