Staples Investigating Potential Data Breach
Published at | Updated at
Staples(NEW YORK) — Staples is in the process of investigating a potential breach of customer credit card data, the office supply chain confirmed to ABC News Tuesday.
The Massachusetts-based company said it has contacted law enforcement and is working to resolve the situation. A source told ABC News that the U.S. Secret Service is taking the lead in the investigation.
In the meantime, Staples said customers are “not responsible for any fraudulent activity on their credit cards that is reported on a timely basis.”
The company disclosed the investigation after cyber security blogger Brian Krebs said banks identified a pattern of credit and debit card fraud linked to Staples stores.
