-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Via The Boston Globe Business News Updates. [snip] The Massachusetts Bankers Association is warning consumers about another data breach involving a major retailer. The association said today that about a third of its 200 member banks have been contacted by Visa and MasterCard. The alerts advised that some of the credit and debit cards the banks issued could be at risk. Credit card companies haven't named the retailer in the breach, which is believed to affect consumers in Massachusetts and northern New England states. MasterCard said in a statement it could not name the retailer because the breach is the subject of an ongoing investigation by law enforcement.
