Today February 21, 2014, Tadych’s Econofoods in Marquette, MI announced between January 8, 2014 and February 17, 2014 that various customers’ credit card and/or debit card information may have been compromised and obtained by an unauthorized person or criminal network.
Individual card numbers and expiration dates may have been accessed – but not the cardholder’s name, address, social security number or any other identifying information.
