Huntsville, TX - ... If you used a credit or debit card at Margarita’s
restaurant over the past three months, a virus might have culled your
information before it could be encrypted and then sold to underground
markets, Huntsville police said.

At least 200 people over the past two weeks have reported incidents of
stolen bank account information, and authorities said they suspect
there are many more cases that have not been reported and many
potential victims whose numbers have not yet been used by thieves.
