They belong to the same gang which this week claimed to have hacked Ticketmaster.

The bank - which employs 200,000 people worldwide, including around 20,000 in the UK - has confirmed data has been stolen.

Santander has apologised for what it says is "the concern this will understandably cause" adding it is "proactively contacting affected customers and employees directly."

"Following an investigation, we have now confirmed that certain information relating to customers of Santander Chile, Spain and Uruguay, as well as all current and some former Santander employees of the group had been accessed," it said in a statement posted earlier this month.
