Update on Best Buy breach: 4,000 customers possibly affected

Posted on February 7, 2009 by Dissent

Best Buy, who has reported two breaches in the last two months, has posted a notice on its web site about the recent West Palm Beach breach. The alert, linked from its home page, reads:

Payment card information was allegedly stolen at Best Buy’s West Palm Beach store during November and December 2008 by a person using an unauthorized personal device. Customers who shopped the West Palm Beach Store in November and December 2008 and believe they may have been affected by this situation should call Best Buy Customer Care at 1-866-792-6391, and review the full text of the Substitute Notice Letter, here.

The substitute notice letter does not mention anything about Best Buy offering any free services to those affected, but informs those who believe that they may have been affected to call Best Buy Customer Care at 1-866-792-6391.
