Barclays exposes customers' account details on web

NEWS A security breach at Barclays has left the account details some of its online banking customers exposed on the internet. Four of the 85,000 Barclays customers who used the online service this morning phoned the bank's helpline, claiming they were able to see the details of other customers when they logged onto the service. Barclays said the problem was caused by a systems upgrade that took place on Saturday night, and shut the site down as soon as it knew there was a problem. The bank added that it expects to have the pre-upgraded version of the service back up in a few hours.
