Hackers Steal Online Banking Credentials from Suffolk County National Bank

Over eight thousand customer logins compromised

Suffolk County National Bank, a subsidiary of Suffolk Bancorp, announced that back in December it learned of a security breach on one of its Online Banking servers. The organization discovered that 8,378 customer credentials were stolen, but is not aware of any of them being misused to date.

The intrusion occurred between November 18 and November 23, 2009, but the bank only discovered it during a December 24 security audit. 8,378 Online Banking customers were affected, amounting to less than ten percent of SCNB’s total customers. "Although the intrusion was limited in duration and scope, SCNB immediately isolated and rebuilt the compromised server and took other measures to ensure the security of data on the server," the bank said in a press release (PDF) earlier this week.
