MI: Bank of America replacing debit cards; source of breach as yet unknown

Posted on March 26, 2011 by Dissent

Thousands of Bank of America customers’ account information could be in jeopardy after a major security breach.

Christy Clark went to a Royal Oak drug store Friday, but when her debit card was declined, she knew something was wrong. “I was very embarrassed,” Clark said.

She went straight to the Bank of America branch near 12 Mile Road near Woodward Avenue in Royal Oak to report the problem.

When she arrived, she was surprised to see the lobby packed with customers who experienced the same issue. “When I entered the branch, that’s when I realized this was a bigger problem,” Clark told Local 4.
