Yet More Bad News: MasterCard Security Breach

David MacAnally writes on WTHR.com:

MasterCard is warning it's member banks about a rash of thefts from the bank accounts of card holders, some here in Central Indiana.

Kristin is good about checking her checking account. "I check the account online every day."

And good thing. When she logged on Tuesday she found it had insufficient funds.

"I was like, what's going on?" Kristin said.

Kristin has a MasterCard debit card and her bank, Sky Bank, blames a security breach at MasterCard.

"We were notified very late last week that a member merchant of Master Card had a data breach and account numbers were compromised," said Mike Newbold, Regional President of Sky Bank Indianapolis.
