Has Another Major Retailer Security Breach Occurred?
Has Another Major Retailer Security Breach Occurred? - Via PogoWasRIght - Privacy News Headlines:
The Consumerist blog is reporting that they've been receiving inquiries from readers about an unnamed merchant breach that has led to replacement of Citibank cards. One customer service rep reportedly told a customer that this involved a hack and could be as big as the TJX breach.
So what is this breach and is it related to the an earlier report we posted that AmEx was also replacing cards due to a breach at an unnamed merchant?
The timing of all this is interesting and I wonder if the sudden flurry of card replacements is a result of the government notifying even more businesses that they had been hacked by the ring involved in the TJX breach. I guess we'll just have to wait until more is revealed.
It really would be so much easier to report the news if the news contained actual .... um... details.
