Ireland not hit in Tesco hack

None of Tesco’s 30,000 or so financial services customers on the island of Ireland have been affected by the weekend fraud attack on the supermarket giant’s banking operations.

The cyber attack targeted 40,000 current account holders in the UK.

Tesco Bank’s customers in Ireland — of which there are 27,000 in the Republic — avail of credit card services only and were totally unaffected.
