  • U.K. Cyber-Security Fine—The FCA Sets a Precedent
    October 2018 Follow @Paul_Hastings U.K. Cyber-Security Fine—The FCA Sets a Precedent By Arun Srivastava, Sarah Pearce & Lara Kaplan What happened? The U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), in a landmark cyber-security case, fined Tesco Personal Finance plc (Tesco Bank) £16,400,000 after a foreseeable cyber attack exposed weaknesses in the design of its debit card business and affected 8,261 personal current accounts. It is the first time the FCA has fined a firm for a cyber-security breach. Tesco Bank’s fine was discounted by 30% because it cooperated extensively at an early stage with the FCA in its investigation and put in place an effective consumer redress scheme. The cyber attack took place in the early hours of a Saturday morning in November 2016 before the implementation of the GDPR or PSD2. Hackers generated authentic Tesco Bank customers’ debit card numbers to enter into thousands of fraudulent debit card transactions and made contactless MSD transactions by relying on magnetic stripe rules which carry identifying information about the debit card. The hackers had created virtual cards off the back of genuine debit card numbers despite the fact that the debit cards weren’t designed for contactless use. Personal current account holders began receiving automatic text messages asking them to call Tesco Bank about suspicious activity, which is how Tesco Bank were first informed of the cyber attack. As the number of fraudulent transaction attempts increased, Tesco Bank’s fraud prevention line and Twitter account were overcome with frustrated customers. The FCA found that Tesco Bank violated Principle 2 of its principles of business: that firms should exercise due skill, care, and diligence.

  • Final Notice for Tesco Personal Finance
    _______________________________________________________________________ FINAL NOTICE _______________________________________________________________________ To: Tesco Personal Finance plc Reference Number: 186022 Address: 2 South Gyle Crescent, Edinburgh, EH12 9FQ Date: 1 October 2018 1. ACTION 1.1. For the reasons given in this Final Notice, the Authority hereby imposes on Tesco Personal Finance plc (“Tesco Bank”) a financial penalty of £16,400,000 pursuant to section 206 of the Act. 1.2. Tesco Bank agreed to settle at an early stage of the Authority’s investigation and therefore qualified for a 30% (Stage 1) discount under the Authority’s executive settlement procedures. Were it not for this discount, the Authority would have imposed a financial penalty of £23,428,500 on Tesco Bank. 2. SUMMARY OF REASONS The Cyber Attack 2.1. Tesco Bank was the subject of a Cyber Attack in November 2016. The attackers most likely used an algorithm which generated authentic Tesco Bank debit card numbers and, using those “virtual cards”, they engaged in thousands of unauthorised debit card transactions. The attackers exploited deficiencies in Tesco Bank’s design of its debit card, its financial crime controls and in its Financial Crime Operations Team to carry out the attack. Those deficiencies left Tesco Bank’s personal current account holders vulnerable to a largely avoidable incident that occurred over 48 hours and which netted the attackers £2.26 million. The attack did not involve the loss or theft of customers’ personal data. 2.2. The Cyber Attack started at 02:00 on Saturday, 5 November 2016. At 04:00, Tesco Bank’s fraud analysis and detection system started sending automatic text messages to Tesco Bank’s personal current account holders asking them to call about “suspicious activity” on their accounts.
