Goodwill attack confirmed; 868,000 credit cards could be compromised

According to the statement, about 10% of stores (or 20 Goodwill members if you prefer) using the same third-party vendor were involved; Goodwill insists that there is no evidence of malware on internal systems. The breach was of third-party systems containing payment card information of certain Goodwill members’ customers. Those numbers may appear quite small, but actually when delved into equate to 330 stores in 20 states and an estimated 868,000 payment cards compromised.
