Re: New Processor Breach?

[macwheel99 () wowway com]

News of breaches comes fast & furious ... Did you see that

{...}

 Forcht Bank, one of the 10 largest banks in Kentucky, told its customers it 
would begin reissuing 8,500 debit cards after being informed by its own card 
processor of a possible breach.

In a statement to Forcht Bank's customers, COO Tyronica Crutcher says that 
the bank's debit card processor, STAR, informed the bank that a retail 
merchant processor's information may have been compromised, and that some 
unknown persons are possibly creating duplicate debit cards. 

"According to STAR, there are several other banks affected, and this is not 
isolated to Forcht Bank customers," says Crutcher. 

Forcht Bank has 34 branches in 11 counties, with more than $1 billion in 
assets.
