ALERT from Piraeus for theft of credit card information

We just got a message from a friend of his iGuRu.gr which reports a possible theft of data from credit cards MasterCard. The message arrived on his mobile via SMS from Piraeus:

The friend of iGuRu.gr informed us with a message stating:

I was just informed by sms about cancellation of my card in Piraeus and on the phone they told me that "Mastercard informed about the theft of credit card information, including yours"

Note that this alert may not be important, as if they steal a number of cards from "one row", they usually cancel all "this row" cards, as our friend learned after an additional investigation talking to someone banking on the phone.

According to the same source, the SMS was the result of an update from the Mastercard organization. Of course we do not know where the leak came from, or if anything further is made public. There is a case to just "bury" it. At the moment it does not exist as news anywhere, and we thought of publishing it.

Did you get a message? Please inform us.

We thank the friend of iGuRu.gr for the immediate information.

Update:

Η bank contact us through Twitter to ask us if he can help with anything. We have updated this post to mention the Bank's exemplary interest.
