Well, no, it is not. It is down to theft of data, either within the data
controller itself, or within the outsourcer, or en route somewhere. It is
to do with the inherent worth of your name, address, phone number, credit
card (if available).
It is also to do with securing (or not securing) data collection and
transmission with SSL technology/certificates, but probably this data
escapes at a "malefactor within" level more easily.
Bear in mind that I can store the entire contents of pretty much any
organisations contact database on a USB stick...... I think you get the
picture.
This is entirely separate from the bank requiring you to identify yourself
to them and your requiring them to identify themselves to you.

A lot of this is down to bad DP practice by banks. We had a discussion on
this list a while ago, which I initiated, when my bank's staff kept ringing
wanting to discuss my account but first wanted me to tell them my personal
details.

I regularly get scammers claiming to be working for Orange calling my phone
and asking me to "confirm" various details. Like what tariff I'm on. If they
were really working for Orange I would expect them to know that already.
When I say I'm on no tariff at all (I've left Orange, but taken the number)
they generally get very confused. My assumption is that they call phones in
the "Orange" number range at random.
