AU: Credit card data hacked from retailers

Posted on September 22, 2011 by Dissent

Wes Hosking reports:

At least two credit card merchants in Victoria have had data hacked, with fraudsters racking up huge bills overseas.

Australian Federal Police were investigating as banks yesterday moved to assure customers illegal transactions would be refunded.

The Warrandyte Supa IGA supermarket is among retailers caught up in the drama, and suspect Eftpos machines have been replaced as a precaution.

[…]

A Mitre 10 store in Queensland was also affected, but its Eftpos terminals were replaced and an audit found no other problems in the hardware chain.
