Costco customers at four of the retailer’s Chicago-area warehouses may have had their payment information compromised after employees discovered five card-skimming devices during routine PIN pad inspections at the end of August.
“We promptly removed the skimmers, notified law enforcement, and engaged a forensics firm to analyze the devices,” A Costco spokesperson told FOX Business in a statement. “It appears that these skimmers had the ability to capture information on the magnetic stripe of a payment card, including name, card number, expiration date, and CVV.”
