Credit Suisse Group has admitted that it accidentally displayed
bank account details of clients including the former James Bond
star, Roger Moore, on its web site for one week before the error
was spotted.
The Swiss bank said the breach of confidentiality was not its
fault. According to reports, it claimed that the data had been
forwarded in error to an insecure test section of its
internet-banking service by Swissperform, a body that pays
royalties to performers based in Switzerland.
According to a German newspaper, the details of 675 transfers of
funds were publicly available on the site. A spokesman for the bank
said he could not confirm that report.
