Joco pub and customers were targets of credit card hacker

Dawn Bormann reports:

Llywelyn’s Pub and its customers are the victims of a cyber credit card attack, Overland Park police said Wednesday.

Overland Park police encourage anyone who has used a credit card at Llywelyn’s Pub within the last six months to monitor their statements for fraudulent expenses.

Police Spokesman Jim Weaver said that more than 100 victims have been identified so far, and they believe others could have been victimized as well.

Investigators believe the crimes were the result of a hacker, who managed to gain access to the information between the time of sale and the point at which the information reached the credit card processing company.

Investigators do not believe the credit card processing company was to blame. They have also ruled out any wrongdoing by Llywelyn’s employees.
