2010 bug hits millions of German bank cards
Credit and debit cards contain software that can't process number ‘2010’
The Associated Press, 11:14 a.m. ET Jan. 5, 2010
BERLIN - Millions of German bank cards have been affected by a "millennium
bug"-like problem because they contain software that can't process the number
2010, an industry group said Tuesday.
The DSGV group, which represents public-sector banks, said some 20 million
debit cards issued by those banks were affected, along with around 3.5 million
credit cards — nearly half of the total number of cards issued by those banks.
The group said cash machines were adjusted hours after the problem emerged to
ensure that customers can withdraw money, but there may still be problems using
some debit-card terminals. Those should be fixed by Monday, it said.
