Hacker Hits Bank’s Computer Network, Accesses Customer Files Containing Names, Social Security Numbers and More
A US bank is notifying its customers of a cybersecurity incident that potentially exposed personally identifying information.
In a new filing with the Office of the Maine Attorney General, the First National Bank of Clarksdale, Mississippi says a hacker infiltrated its computer network and obtained files containing sensitive customer information.
The data breach was discovered early last month and happened between June 4th and June 5th of this year, according to a notification sent to one Maine resident.
“We reviewed the files involved and on September 8, 2025, identified one or more file(s) containing your name in combination with your Social Security number and/or financial account number.”
The First National Bank of Clarksdale is now offering the potential victims of the data breach identity monitoring services and identity theft restoration service through Epiq Privacy Solutions ID at no cost for one year. The complimentary services come with an identity theft insurance cover worth $1 million. Compensation of up to $1 million will also be offered in case funds are transferred from a bank account fraudulently as a direct result of the data breach.
The First National Bank of Clarksdale is also urging its customers to exercise extra caution over the next two years.
“We remind you it is always advisable to be vigilant for incidents of fraud or identity theft by reviewing your account statements and free credit reports for any unauthorized activity over the next 12 to 24 months.”
