Full timeline through 2026
2026 — faulty mobile update; ~450K customers’ transaction data exposed to other users
Cataloged incident. On March 12, 2026, Lloyds Banking Group (Lloyds Bank, Halifax, Bank of Scotland) experienced a serious but non-ransomware IT incident: an overnight software/API change introduced a defect that broke isolation between customer accounts in mobile banking, so some users briefly saw other customers’ transactions and related on-screen details (e.g., names, postcodes, salaries, benefit payments, and in some reports sort codes, account fragments, or national insurance numbers) when viewing transaction lists. Parliamentary Exposed categories include Other customers’ mobile-visible transaction and account-display data (varies by session); not a reported download of Lloyds’ central database by an external actor. BreachHistory cites approximately 448K+ affected records in this row. See the lloyds-banking-group 2026 record and canonical BreachHistory entry.
