Video game giant GameStop Corp. [NSYE: GME] says it is investigating reports that hackers may have siphoned credit card and customer data from its website — gamestop.com. The company acknowledged the investigation after being contacted by KrebsOnSecurity.
“GameStop recently received notification from a third party that it believed payment card data from cards used on the GameStop.com website was being offered for sale on a website,” a company spokesman wrote in response to questions from this author.
The data stolen is "thought to include" customer names and addresses, along with card numbers, expiration dates, and the 3 digit security code on the back. In other words, everything you’d need to use someone’s card illicitly.
