Was it or wasn’t it hacked: conflicting reports on a possible bank hack

WNYF reports:

The accounts of hundreds of Community Bank customers may have been compromised in an apparent identity theft attempt involving debit cards.

State police investigators tell 7 News that a data base used by the bank was apparently hacked into earlier this month with personal account information of numerous north country customer accounts obtained.

The bank’s public relations firm denies that Community Bank’s computer systems were compromised.

Guess we’ll have to wait for more info on this one as they both can’t be right, can they?

    “Pat Spadafore of Eric Mower & Associates, acting as a spokesman for Community Bank, tells 7 News in an e-mail that the VISA debit card network was apparently compromised.”

    I’d like to see that actual email. It sounds like the little community bank bank is saying VisaNet got hacked, not them. But only their cards were affected. Right.
