http://www.orlandosentinel.com/business/orl-disneyclub1407jul14,0,534745.story Credit-card information for an undisclosed number of Disney Movie Club members worldwide was reportedly offered for sale -- illegally -- by an employee of a sales account-processing company who was then arrested by federal agents. Disney sent letters last week to an undisclosed number of members of its movie club, warning them that their names and addresses, and their credit cards' types, numbers and expiration dates, were in the hands of a suspect arrested in a federal undercover sting. One of Disney's warning letters, dated July 6, was forwarded to the Orlando Sentinel on Friday. [.] David Haltinner, 25, of Wisconsin was arrested in the case in Wisconsin on May 24 and charged in Nashville, Tenn., with a federal felony of access-device fraud, according to federal officials. Details of the criminal complaint are sealed, however, and officials of the U.S. Secret Service, which ran the sting, and the U.S. Attorney's Office in Nashville have declined to offer details so far.
