OH: Hundreds of Hickory Grove customers report fraudulent charges

Posted on March 18, 2014 by Dissent

Jasmine Rogers reports:

Suspicious charges connected to cards swiped at Hickory Grove, a gas station and grocery store along Ohio 339, have been traced back to at least a month ago. While close to 100 people have already reported fraudulent charges, that number could climb as high as 200 or 300 as more people begin to discover the charges and the thieves continue to use card information stolen more recently, said Detective Sgt. Scott Parks of the Washington County Sheriff’s Office.

[…]

In any case, the breach does not appear to have happened locally, said Parks. Multiple credit card machines, both at the pump and inside the store, were affected. That diminishes the likelihood that a piece of physical equipment was used to hack the card information, he said.

Rather, it appears the information from the magnetic strips of cards was stolen through a network intrusion, similar to that which compromised the credit and debit cards of millions of Target shoppers late last year, said Parks.
