For those not looking to click through to the site:
====
We have been made aware that customer credit card information collected by the independent vendor who manages and hosts CVSPhoto.com may have been compromised. As a precaution, as our investigation is underway, we are temporarily shutting down access to online and related mobile photo services. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working diligently to resume service as soon as possible. Your images are saved and you will have access to them once service to CVSPhoto.com is restored. Our in-store photo centers are not affected and remain in service. Film and disposable camera orders are being processed and your CVS/pharmacy will contact you when they are received.
Customers who provided credit card information for transactions on CVSPhoto.com are advised to check their credit card statements for any fraudulent or suspicious activity and to call their bank or financial institution to report anything of concern.
Customer registrations related to online photo processing and CVSPhoto.com are completely separate from CVS.com, optical.cvs.com, cvs.com/MinuteClinic on line bill pay and our pharmacies. Financial transactions on CVS.com, optical.cvs.com, cvs.com/MinuteClinic and in-store are not affected.
Nothing is more central to us than protecting the privacy and security of our customer information, including financial information. We are working closely with the vendor and our financial partners and will share updates as we know more.
For more information, call 1-800-SHOP-CVS.

- mahouse 11y agoThank you, this is a very valuable and useful comment.
- akerl_ 11y agoMy sarcasm detector is admittedly permanently broken thanks to years on IRC and forums, but just in case: It's useful because the steps a reader would need to take before being secure clicking through to a site identified in the submission title as "hacked" (I notice the title has been clarified since then) are non-trivial. I figured since I'd done them once, I might as well save additional folks the steps if they were just looking for the page contents.
- minot 11y agoI don't think grand parent was being sarcastic. In case they were, I'd like to add that I am sincerely thankful for the copy paste.
- anu_gupta 11y agoLooking at his comment history, it's very likely he was being sarcastic

- developer1 11y agoIt's useful because this situation is temporary. Once the site is back online, the explanation will no longer be posted and anyone coming across this post in a week, month, or years later will have no information.
