Citigroup has released more details on last month's hack attack, revealing that far more credit card accounts were accessed than originally reported, and took more than three weeks to notify customers.
Citigroup said that it discovered, on May 10, that 360,083 credit card accounts had been hacked into.
This is a significant increase from the number that Citigroup had reported on June 13, when it said that "roughly 1%" of its 21 million credit card accounts had been hacked, which would have been 210,000 accounts.
