Last week we told you about a debit card breach found in Chicago area Michaels arts and craft stores. This week, the Chicago Tribune says that the impact is much more widespread than thought, as it turns out that actually, thieves stole debit card info at Michaels in 20 different states.
The crooks tampered with the PIN pads at checkout, either by hacking into them or by replacing them with their own, compromised PIN pads.
The store said they had discovered 90 pads across the following states that were tampered with: Illinois, Colorado, Delaware, Georgia, Iowa, Massachusetts, Maryland, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Utah, Virginia and Washington.
If these people would use their brains for something good...
