Money disappears from bank cards?

Excited Belarusians inform the website charter97.org about problems with their bank cards.

“It was mass money stealing from bank cards on August 28. Card terminals in shops didn't work in the evening, but the bank processing centre withdrew money from accounts. Where have the money gone?

Banks promise to settle the issue, but they say there were thousands of such cases! Don't have news on the topic!

More then 340 thousands of rubles were stolen. I am lucky that the bank sends me SMS alerts. How is it possible? Who will bear responsibility? Why are governmental bodies keeping silence? What if it is one's last money and it hasn't been returned?” a reader wrote to charter97.org.
