A senior vice president for TierOne Bank, Ed Swotek, said Friday: "Our internal security procedures to prevent the compromise of any customer worked exactly as planned." The bank's Internet services vendor, Digital IMS, also said none of its customers was harmed by what it said was a superficial breach of security on Friday. Chief Technology Officer Rob Nickolaus said Digital IMS hosts parts of TierOne's Internet display that don't include access to accounts or any transaction functions. "In one of these Web sites that we host, but not manage, there was a flaw in their coding that allowed this malfeasance to enter our environment," he said. "Our server itself was not hacked, and it was not the Web sites we create that were hacked. "We have several thousand clients, and just a handful were impacted by this," Nickolaus said.
