Around 800 Bank of Bermuda customers have had their cards compromised after a security breach in the US.
It comes less than a year after 1,600 of the bank.s customers were hit when a hacker broke into a system . again in 
America.
Richard Brown, head of personal financial services, said: .Bank of Bermuda received notification from Visa that as a 
result of a recent breach of security associated with a processor of ATM transactions in the United States, a number of 
Bermuda-based credit and debit card numbers had been exposed to possible fraud..

Smells like the whole OfficeMax deal, but it says that this was "associated with a processor".
Tough to know, isn't it?
