Global Payments Says Investigation Ongoing, Says Incident is Maintained, Unclear if Any Personal Info Was Looked At

Global Payments Inc.

, a leader in payment processing services, previously announced that it had identified and self-reported unauthorized access into its processing system. Based on the investigation to date, the Company continues to believe that a limited portion of its North American card processing system was affected. As discussed in our earlier announcement, the Company's continuing forensic investigation confirms that actual card numbers that may have been exported did not exceed 1,500,000.  The Company has, however, provided a larger quantity of card numbers to industry brands to enable them to proactively monitor cardholder activity.  The evidence continues to indicate that the potential card exportation was limited to Track 2 data.
