FL: Police pinpoint source of Tallassee credit card hack

Posted on October 25, 2014 by Dissent

Lindsey Rogers reports:

A Tallassee business is now front and center in an investigation into hundreds of stolen identities. The hack affected up to 700 people in and around the small town.

Victims continue to deal with the fallout from the massive credit card hack.

Anne Christian and Elizabeth Britt are Tallassee residents who had their credit card information stolen. Counterfeit cards were made and used to buy things in different parts of the country.

“My card was being used mainly up east. There was a $659 charge to a place in Washington, D. C. There was another charge for $250 in Arlington, Virginia. Then there were some fast food places,” Britt said. “It’s been a terrible violation of privacy. It’s been like someone breaking into your home and having a tremendous theft problem in your own home.”

Over the past week, the investigation ballooned from 175 victims to 700. Victims had varying amounts stolen from them- anywhere from $2 to several hundred dollars.

And once again, law enforcement declines to identify the breached business.
