Several Safeway grocery stores in Colorado and California were targeted in a credit card skimming attack, cybercrime blog Krebs on Security reported Wednesday.

Safeway is investigating the breaches, which was limited to a "handful of stores," spokesman Brian Dowling told Krebs on Security. Bank sources cited by Krebs tie the breaches to locations in Arvada, Conifer, Denver, Englewood and Lakewood in Colorado, and in Castro Valley and Menlo Park in California.

Dowling told Krebs that the checkout pin pads are inspected regularly and that skimmers have been found on a limited and small scale.

Citing unnamed banking sources, Krebs reported that consumers' debit accounts were drained of cash at ATMs following a trip to Safeway.

Almost sounds like it would have to be an inside job...

That sucks, you have to be nuts to still be using a debit card anywhere IMO.

My bank argued with me when I turned mine in for a plain Vanilla ATM card. I told them to shuddup and listen to the customer.

If you want to be, press one. If you want not to be, press 2

Republicans are red, democrats are blue, neither of them, gives a flip about you.
