So a load of customers had their personal details put into the public domain
Um no, not into the public domain, just accessible if you were able to set up a matching account.
There should be a control of what information Banks are allowed to collect and store
I rather think banks probably do need to collect and store name, address and account details for their customers, otherwise it would be quite difficult for them to identify the customer's accounts.
Maybe if customers didn't splash their names, dates of birth and addresses all over social media, it would make life a bit more difficult for those with criminal intent.
However, that doesn't excuse the bank's imbecility in linking accounts between the two businesses.
