If Nationwide ARE indeed communicating with their 11 million stong customer base on this incident - then this is going to cost upwards of GBP22M to them - minimally GBP2 per person assuming of course no-one phones in on the customer care lines - then the costs go thru the roof.
Makes you think - if they'd spent a fraction of that on introducing and enforcing strong security policies and technology, they would have saved themselves a fortune.
Assuming, of course, that they are actually communicating with their customers - I for one have 3 or 4 Nationwide Accounts and have had absolutely NO communication at all!!
