March 27 (Reuters) - Lloyds ⁠Banking Group exposed the personal data of ⁠up to 447,936 customers during an ‌IT glitch earlier this month that allowed users to see other customers' transactions, including account details and national insurance ​numbers, Britain's Treasury Committee said ⁠on Friday.

The incident ⁠highlights the vulnerability of Britain's digital banking infrastructure, such ⁠as ‌apps and websites, as lenders slash physical branch networks to cut costs ⁠and shift customers online.
