Another week, another data breach affecting some Cincinnati area bank customers.

This time, however, it's not PNC/National City customers affected, but
rather some customers of Fifth Third bank.

9News has learned that Fifth Third is sending out new debit cards to
what the bank says is a "limited number" of customers. It will not say
if that means dozens or thousands.

Third Party Vendor is Hit

However, Fifth Third confirms to us a data breach at a third party
vendor has put some of its debit card numbers at risk.

As a result, the bank is sending new cards to affected customers.

It says no one has suffered any losses, and there's no risk of identity theft.

As always, don't waste your money.
