Description
Washington banks and credit unions noticed fraudulent activity on the debit and credit cards of grocery store customers.  The breach was traced to Yoke's Fresh Markets, Rosauers stores, and other grocery stores associated with URM stores.  The hacking incident occurred sometime between September and October.  Customers were encouraged to use cash, check, or an alternative form of payment card processing to pay in stores until the breach was resolved.UPDATE (12/03/2013): Over 24 stores in Montana and an unspecified number of stores in Oregon were also affected.  URM believes the breach that allowed fraudulent copies of customer payment cards to be created has been contained.  Customers were encouraged to check their bank statements after URM allowed normal payment card purchases to resume.
