In the latest development of a major international fraud case, the payment service NETS has recommended that Danish banks close 100,000 credit cards. The banks had already blocked 15,000 cards following an earlier recommendation.
A growing problem
Card details from Danish consumers have ended up in the hands of fraudsters, but NETS stresses that there is no reason to believe that the cards have yet been misused.
“The cards have not yet been abused, but we suspect that it could happen in the near future,” NETS press spokesman Ulrik Marschall told Finans.dk.
NETS has not said whether any of the original 15,000 credit cards were abused, nor have they revealed the possible source of the leak.
