Chuck Williams reports that a number of companies have been notified by card processors of what may be a major breach. In Callaway Gardens’ case, it seems to involve malware, but the other companies affected are not named nor whether the same malware was involved in their compromises:
Consumers who have used credit or debit cards at Callaway Gardens are being urged to check their accounts for possible fraudulent charges after the Harris County resort was notified this week of a breach of its system.
The problems could impact anyone who used a card at the resort before Friday, according to a news release from Callaway Gardens. The release did not say when the problem started.
A credit card processing company identified and notified multiple companies, including Callaway Gardens, that sophisticated fraudulent credit card activity had been detected, according to the news release. The companies were identified by common points of counterfeit purchases reported by consumers, according to the release.

Anyone know who the other companies are? If anyone has any additional details, please email me or contact me via Twitter, @pogowasright.
