NEWS An online bank customer from the Isle of Man contacted the paper, claiming he had gained access to secure information about customers' bank accounts through the Fiserv website. Fiserv provides security software for many online banks. The customer said he was clicking around the site when he came across the 'security log' - which then gave him access to thousands of accounts. A spokesman for the company said: "No bank accounts were accessed. The person did get into a training site set up for sales staff, which did not contain any real information."
