    That latest (long) text seems to have gone to all customers.
    It is perhaps going to all customers. I haven't received that text yet.

    Edit: Got it now. Apparently sent at 13:26, received 16:00

    I agree with regard moving money out of the Current Accounts as it's a debit card issue. Is it really necessary to move money out of Internet Saver accounts though?

    I suppose I'm just being extra cautious moving money out of Tesco altogether.

    I have a few DDs set up on the Internet Saver and other Saver to qualify for interest on other accounts and really dont want to have to "worry" about those....I mean How much date has been compromised ? Other bank details outside of Tesco that you have stored at Tesco ? or just the Debit cards ?
  • Had the fraud text at 12.50am, phoned this morning and they'd tried to put through a transaction of £28.33 to something called wayfarer or Similar (I struggle with accents on phones)
    Thankfully the transaction was flagged as suspicious but now have to wait for a new card and pin before I can use the account again

    I'm surprised Tesco hasn't suspended online banking until they find the source of the breach??

    Does anyone know if Tesco use their own systems or RBS backend?

    Does anyone know if the promised callbacks are still happening? If they have 4 million customers to call back I guess not!

    Has anyone who left their details had a call back yet?

    I'd guess at Magstripe misuse rather than Contactless - especially in less developed countries.

    Or it could be Card Not Present (online) transactions. I've never used my card online - does anyone know if Tesco use 3D Secure/Verified by Visa?

    I have concluded that there has been a serious data breach of some kind. The fraudsters have obtained full card data by accessing Tesco's Systems or persons within Tesco have assisted in providing the card data either at manufacture point or from their IT systems.

    No doubt Tesco will deny any breach, internal or otherwise, and will try to blame customers, just as they did with the stolen Clubcard voucher fiasco, which was clearly and internal breach.

    Every time I pay for something online using the Tesco debit card, I get the Visa verification page.

    So far I've not been affected. Who knows...

    Why? If only debit cards have been compromised then there is no need to suspend online banking.
