Spanish financial giant Santander has downplayed claims its international money transfer startup PagoFX was compromised.

At the end of last week, The Register was contacted by an anonymous source who claimed "Database schemas, infrastructure docs, digital risk assessments, customer security checks, and Salesforce training material" belonging to PagoFX had been stolen and put up for sale on an underground hacking forum.

"PagoFX is aware of the claims we can assure customers that none of our internal systems have been compromised and no sensitive personal information or payment data has been accessed," the banking group added in a statement.

Chip biz Nvidia issued a set of patches to close vulnerabilities in its GeForce Experience software, including a flaw that scored 8.2 on the CVSS scale - not the kind of high score gamers want.

Infosec biz Intego claims it has found six cases of the MacOffers malware notarized by Apple to run on macOS. The malware was dressed up as a Flash update that users are tricked into running, and being notarized by Apple, the software was trusted to run with just a double-click.
