Julie Davis, a B of A spokeswoman, told American Banker that to her knowledge 
                                                             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
no major security breach has occurred in recent weeks at a third party that
                                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
works with B of A, and that the cards that were reissued were likely not 
connected to a single event.
 

"It's part of our normal process to block and reissue cards when there is any 
potential for fraud," she said. A group of "customers receiving a letter don't 
necessarily indicate that they are from the same incident."

[I underlined certain parts]      

Depending on what "recent" means, this *could* be Sam's Club fallout (among
other things).  Of course, unless people actually reveal information, we will
never know, will we?
