Wells Fargo, a major player in the banking industry, has announced that it experienced a breach of sensitive data that affected at least two of its customers. The California-based financial institution disclosed in a letter that personal information and mortgage account numbers were compromised. While the exact motives and methods of the employee responsible for the breach are unclear, Wells Fargo asserts that appropriate measures were taken in accordance with company policies and procedures.

A representative from Wells Fargo clarified that the employee involved has been terminated and emphasized that the breach was not the result of a cyber-attack. Instead, the employee violated company policy by transferring information to a personal account. The representative expressed regret for any inconvenience caused to the affected customers and assured that their needs are the top priority.

To safeguard against any further unauthorized activity, Wells Fargo is closely monitoring the affected accounts. Additionally, the bank is offering the victims a complimentary two-year identity theft protection program provided by Experian.
