    Know Your Breach: Santander

    The Target: Santander, the euro zone's second-biggest bank by market value.

    The Take: The bank said in a statement that the data was from customers in Spain, Chile and Uruguay, as well as all current and some former employees. No data on transactions, nor any credentials that would allow to perform transactions were stored in the database, it said.
