Both Visa and Mastercard, and perhaps others, have had
credit card numbers stolen from 5 million accounts. I
suggest you check your personal credit card statements
for purchases that you did not make since early Feb.
This appears not to be a regional thing nor confined to
one bank, but any accounts nationwide could be compromised.

I have no further information about this.
