Eddie Bauer Hacked by POS Malware

As reported by CU Info Security today, outdoor apparel retailer Eddie Bauer is warning customers that point-of-sale malware infected its 360 U.S. store retail system over a six-month period. The company's breach notification suggests that every one of its North American stores may have been affected by what it claimed to be a "sophisticated attack," but doesn't reveal how many cardholders may have been compromised.

Cards compromised were used between between January 2, 2016 and July 17, 2016 in stores. Card information used online at eddiebauer.com was not affected.

Attackers obtained cardholder names, payment card numbers, security codes and expiration dates for customers who bought or returned products.
