After CC Breach hackers now changing your PIN# on the stolen cards

KrebsonSecurity has the story again:

 

KrebsOnSecurity also heard from an employee at a much larger bank on the West Coast that lost more than $300,000 in two hours today to PIN fraud on multiple debit cards that had all been used recently at Home Depot. The manager said the bad guys called the customer service folks at the bank and provided the last four of each cardholder’s Social Security number, date of birth, and the expiration date on the card. And, as with the bank in New England, that was enough information for the bank to reset the customer’s PIN.”

This is unfortunate as the cards need to be reissued now. I would reissue the debit cards at this time.

Good to call and reissue the Debit card to get in front of this attack.
