Krebs On Security
reported that Staples SPLS may be a victim of a data breach. Brian Krebs wrote that sources close to him revealed a pattern of credit and debit card fraudulent transactions that may trace back to several Staples locations in the Northeastern U.S.
“Staples is in the process of investigating a potential issue involving credit card data and has contacted law enforcement,” Mark Cautela, a Staples spokesman said in a statement. The spokesman reassured the public that customers will not be responsible for any fraudulent activity if it is reported in a timely manner to their financial institution.
If Staples is indeed a victim of a data breach, its name will be added to a growing list of retailers like Home Depot HD and Target TGT that have been similarly victimized.
