I had a data breach last week when I switched my bank, they somehow entered the wrong house number on my account, despite addressing my online letters to the right address. They issued my card and pin to the wrong address. They gave me £100 as compensation.

That's not a data breech.. That is human error 🤦‍♀️

They issued cards, pin and letters to the wrong address, and in their letter to me apologised for a data breach.

Seems to be some confusion about banks here, OP was NatWest but NW also appears to now be mentioned as Nationwide so maybe it isn't actually an issue for Natwest after all.

If a device is not connected to the Internet or a mobile phone signal how does it update or receive instant live data?

It doesn't.

If something is preprogrammed and linked to your account to give certain denominations it won't be that difficult to crack. 

You, clearly, have absolutely no idea how such systems works.  Why on earth would you imagine you are in any way qualified to say how easy or hard they are to crack?

Did I say i am qualified? You seem to jump to conclusions. You have poor attitude. It's not rocket science is it on how these systems work is it? A pre programmed calculator will have so may denominations. In fact they don't even issue a new one with a new card. For you it might be rocket science but for me it isn't. 

I'm not jumping to any conclusions.   The things you *keep repeating* very clearly indicate that you don't know how they work.  That you think the thing is a "preprogrammed calculator" with "so many denominations" tells me this.

This is the Dunning-Kruger effect in action.

Of course 30 seconds on google would answer the question of how they work
