A large data breach at an unidentified, national business has prompted First National Bank of Omaha to issue new debit cards to customers in seven states.

The Omaha-based bank with operations in Nebraska, Illinois, Iowa, South Dakota, Kansas, Colorado and Texas recently sent new cards to customers with a letter explaining that its routine fraud-monitoring efforts had determined those customers’ cards were at risk of being compromised due to that breach.

"As a result of our reviews, we have learned that potential exposure by a third party not associated with First National Bank may have caused your debit card to be at risk for possible unauthorized use or fraudulent activity," the letter stated.

"The company affected, the card networks and investigators are still working to determine the extent of the exposure," bank spokesman Kevin Langin told The World-Herald.
