Crooks Swipe Card Data from Michigan Casino Clients

The Four Winds Casino on Nov. 5 warned customers about a data breach affecting several of its locations in the state.

A credit card issuer on Oct. 2 had informed the casino of a pattern of unauthorized charges on the issuer’s cards: all of the compromised cards had been used at the casino. An investigation revealed that someone had installed a program on the company’s payment network that copied data off the magnetic strip on customer's cards. 

The data stolen includes the cardholder name, card number, expiration date, and internal verification code.
