Heads up, bargain shoppers: Financial institutions across the country 
report that they are tracking what appears to be a series of credit card 
breaches involving Goodwill locations nationwide. For its part, Goodwill 
Industries International Inc. says it is working with the U.S. Secret 
Service on an investigation into these reports.

Headquartered in Rockville, Md., Goodwill Industries International, Inc. 
is a network of 165 independent agencies in the United States and Canada 
with a presence in 14 other countries. The organizations sell donated 
clothing and household items, and use the proceeds to fund job training 
programs, employment placement services and other community-based 
initiatives.

According to sources in the financial industry, multiple locations of 
Goodwill Industries stores have been identified as a likely point of 
compromise for an unknown number of credit and debit cards.

In a statement sent to KrebsOnSecurity, Goodwill Industries said it first 
learned about a possible incident last Friday, July 18. The organization 
said it has not yet confirmed a breach, but that it is working with 
federal authorities on an investigation into the matter.
