Barns & Noble CC Readers Hacked and Bug implanted to steal Credit/Debit Card Numbers and PINS...
Barnes & Noble is warning its customers to check their credit and debit card statements for unauthorized transactions after discovering someone tampered with its card readers in 63 stores across the country.
See store list at bottom of this article
Only one device was tampered with in each store, affecting fewer than 1 percent of card readers in Barnes & Noble stores, the company said in a news release on Wednesday. The company disconnected all of the devices at its 700 stores after discovering the tampering on Sept. 14.
The FBI asked Barnes & Noble not to disclose the breach last month, for fear of compromising the investigation.
The criminals apparently planted bugs in the devices to get customers’ credit card and PIN numbers, Barnes & Noble said, calling the tampering a “sophisticated criminal effort.”
The nation’s largest bookseller is working with federal law enforcement authorities as well as banks, payment card brands and issuers to identify accounts that may have been compromised.
But as a precaution, Barnes & Noble said debit card users who shopped at affected stores should change their pin numbers.
B&N insists its customer database is secure.
The company also stressed that the breach involved only purchases made in a store using one of the tampered devices and that transactions on Barnes & Noble.com, Nook devices and apps were not affected.
If this could be done at B&N, then why not Wal-Mart, Kroger, Costco, Target, etc, I would suspect that Barnes and Noble are not the only retail chain hacked.
Here is the list of affected stores: If you feel you might have been a victim, call your local FBI office as they are investigating this as "organized" crime.
