China
Construction Bank Launches the Emergency System to Avoid Customer
Loss
After it is reported that the US Cardsystems information
is attacked by hacker, the China Construction Bank (CCB) Credit
Card Center immediately launched the emergency system, maintaining
close communications with Visa and Mastercard and requiring those
international organizations to offer the list of cardholders influenced.
On June 20 it received the list of cardholders who once used the
bank¡¯s Dragon Debit Card (dual currency) in the US. It quickly
contacted those customers, offered new cards for them for free
and sent the card to them by EMS, trying to minimize the impact.
For those customers the bank failed to find currently, it has
locked their cards and continues to contacting them. Some customers
who are finally found say that they are abroad and still using
the Dragon Card. The bank pays close attention to this part of
customers¡¯ cards through transaction monitoring and maintains
close contact with them. Up to now no customer of CCB is found
suffering any loss. The bank will continue to pay a close eye
on the event and follow it up.
