Global Payments says data breach is "contained"
(Reuters) - Global Payments Inc said a recent data breach put no more than 1.5 million credit card numbers at risk, and that the incident is now "contained."
In
a statement updating its investigation of the breach, which was first
reported in March, the payments processing company said that the
compromised card data was limited to "Track 2" data.
Those
data include account numbers and expiration dates, but not personal
information like card holders' names, addresses and Social Security
numbers.
In
the statement, Chief Executive Paul Garcia apologized for the incident
and said the company is working to resolve issues that have arisen.
Global Payments expects to provide more information about the financial
impact of the data breach and the status of the investigation on its
year-end earnings call on July 26.
The data breach potentially affected customers of Visa Inc, Mastercard Inc, AmericanExpress Co and Discover Financial Services, as well as major banks.
