Bank of Hawaii and First Hawaiian Bank have blocked debit and credit
cards for an unspecified number of customers as a precaution after a
restaurant on Oahu had its computer system breached.

"As a proactive measure and a precaution to help protect our
customers, we blocked customers' cards who we knew patronized that
restaurant during a certain time period in February," Bankoh
spokes­man Stafford Kigu­chi said Thursday. "However, not all of those
cards would have been necessarily compromised."
