Sports Authority hit (stored stripe data)

[Chris Walsh <cwalsh () cwalsh org>]

> From American Banker:

Sports Authority Inc. confirmed this week that it recently launched an investigation into its information system after 
four international banks alerted it to a potential intrusion into its network in December.

With help from the Secret Service and Cybertrust Inc., the sporting goods company determined that there had been no 
unauthorized access into its system, but that it was violating Payment Card Industry standards by storing 
magnetic-stripe information.

Chas Withers, a spokesman for Sports Authority, said it was surprised by the discovery, because a Visa U.S.A.-approved 
assessor had told the company it was not storing such information.
