If you read the article, you'll notice that is what it says. ;-)

Guidance alerted customers to the incident in a letter sent last week, saying it discovered on Dec. 7 that hackers had 
broken into a company database and made off with approximately 3,800 customer credit card numbers. The Pasadena, 
Calif.-based company said the incident occurred sometime in November and that it is working with the U.S. Secret 
Service on a more detailed investigation.
