VISA Fingers Fujitsu
While thousands of debit card holders nationwide have reported unauthorized withdrawals and major financial institutions have been replacing some 200,000 debit cards, Visa announced Friday that two versions of Fujitsu's Transaction Solutions cash register software may store PIN numbers. Its a connect the dots, or follow the bouncing ball kind of thing.
One commonality among the fraud victims, according to law enforcement and banking officials, is that most had shopped at one of Fujitsu's clients: OfficeMax. The office-supply retailer has said that it has found no indication that it suffered an illegal intrusion. Fujitsu, which did not return repeated phone calls from CNET News.com on Friday, denied that its software has had anything to do with any alleged security breach.
Leave it to Omax to screw something up.....
