UK families receiving Child Benefit have been urged to remain ‘vigilant’ and to report any unusual activity from their personal bank accounts to their bank.
Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) yesterday admitted losing 15 million records of Child Benefit recipients containing the personal data of 25 million individuals, including National Insurance numbers, children’s names and addresses and Bank Account details.
