(nytimes.com)CVS and Walmart Canada said on Friday that a data breach at a Canadian information technology vendor may have leaked credit card information from their online photo processing websites, possibly compromising data on millions of users.
The two retailers have temporarily shut down their online photo processing services and related mobile services, and are investigating the scope of the possible breach, the companies said in separate statements. Both retailers urged customers to check their credit card records for any suspicious activity.
CVS and Walmart Canada said that a vendor based in Vancouver called PNI Digital Media hosts the photo sites, and collects customers’ payment information. The vendor is owned by Staples, which suffered an online attack of its own last year.
Neither retailer disclosed how many users may have been affected by the possible breach, which was first reported by Krebs on Security, a news site that focuses on online crime and other Internet security topics. Full Story
