US parking operator: YEP, hackers got your names, credit card numbers, secret codes…
The Register | Dec 2, 2014
Point-of-Sale systems have been hacked at major US parking garage operator SP+. The breach has resulted in the exposure of customer financial information. SP+ said it had learned of the breach from the firm that handles its payment card processing. The security flap follows a plethora of Point-of-Sale system breaches in the US this year affecting Home Depot, Subway sandwich restaurants, KMart, and more. “[The] announcement by parking garage operator SP+ should warn every organisation that accepts credit card payments that they are an active target,” said Steve Hultquist, chief evangelist at network visibility vendor RedSeal.
