Fraudsters stole the credit card details of 2,000 MasterCard holders in a major security breach last week.

Silicon.com was contacted by one customer of the Clydesdale Bank, who was told that her MasterCard details, along with 
those of 2,000 other people, were "in the hands of a fraudster."

The theft was detected and the card stopped before it could be used by the fraudster.

The Clydesdale Bank would not comment except to say it was advised of the problem by MasterCard.

MasterCard said it took immediate action together with all the banks concerned as soon as the breach was discovered.
