WikiLeaks donation-account blocking
While still operating as Moneybookers, the company blocked a donation account associated with WikiLeaks. It cited WikiLeaks' inclusion on Australian blacklists and American watchlists. The action placed the payment provider in a politically sensitive dispute over sanctions, watchlists and the responsibilities of financial intermediaries.
2009
Customer-data security breach
A security breach reportedly exposed data relating to almost 4.5 million customers. The reported information included names, email addresses, home addresses and IP addresses. The incident was not discovered until 2015 according to the referenced history, making the timing of detection and disclosure a significant issue for the brand.
