"But affected banks are now starting to analyze transaction data on the compromised cards, in hopes of finding a common point of purchase."
If they know the processor was compromised what is the point of finding a common point of purchase? Is the common point of purchase where the criminals are extracting the money?
- rogerbinns 15y ago> what is the point of finding a common point of purchase So they know who to notify. It isn't every US card holder that is at risk, so they want to know who is. The Gartner article says this: > From what I hear, the breach involves a taxi and parking garage company in the New York City area so if you’ve paid a NYC cab in the last few months with your credit or debit card – be sure to check your card statements for possible fraud.
- dfc 15y agoI thought the processor was breached?
- rogerbinns 15y agoThe current gossip is that it was an administrative account for the parking garage/taxi at the processor.
- dfc 15y agoThanks. I guess when I read that the processor was compromised I guess I assumed it was at Ring0 (couldn't resist). It never occured to me that it was within a client's account at the processor.
