Lloyds Banking Group has revealed that an additional 80,508 customers may have had their transaction data exposed due to a March IT glitch, bringing the total affected to over half a million. The issue, caused by a software defect, allowed some customers to view others' financial details, including joint account holders who did not log in during the incident. The bank has paid £201,000 in compensation to 5,250 people and £62,000 in goodwill payments, but reports no increase in fraud or confirmed financial losses. Affected customers were notified via an app alert, with support and reassurance emphasized by the bank.
