http://www.ludingtondailynews.com/news.php?story_id=33672 Roughly 1,000 West Shore Bank customers have been notified this week that their debit card number may have been compromised after the bank was notified of the issue by Master Card. Master Card said there was a security break at a common point-of-purchase provider sometime this summer, said West Shore Banks Jeremy Holmes. It wasnt our system our system wasnt compromised. It was a third party that the customers went to. The information was accessed in their system. Master Card would not comment on the specific incident, citing the ongoing investigation. ... Holmes didnt know which company had the security break. We werent provided with a lot of information, he said. What we know is that we were given a listing of debit card numbers that were potentially compromised. When asked if the card issue was tied to Wescos announcement of a security breach, Holmes said he was only notified what happened and the timeframe of the incident, not of the company that had the problem. (Master Card) doesnt tell us where only that it was somewhere in the US, Holmes said. But I imagine that it could be (a major merchant in the area).
