Ca: Langford pub hit by second security breach

Posted on July 25, 2012 by Dissent

Derek Spalding reports that a pub that had its payment system hacked due to a faulty firewall has also had problems with card skimmers:

The passwords and debit-card numbers of at least five people have been stolen from customers of Langford’s Station House Pub, which has been hit by two security breaches in the past month.

The Vancouver Island chapter of the RCMP’s commercial crime unit investigated the pub’s card readers two weeks ago and confiscated a machine that was used to obtain information from at least five customers between June 18 and 21. On Monday, a second compromised machine was taken, prompting police to encourage customers to carefully examine their statements.
