Wawa says data breach exposed credit card information at potentially all locations

I just read this article and thought I’d share since it’s relative to us in the PA area.  Wawa just announced it found malware on its payment processing servers and that it had affected customer payment information since March 4th.  The malware is believed to have been present on most of the 850 store locations by April 22nd.  It exposed credit and debit card numbers, expiration dates, and cardholder names on payment cards used in-store and at gas pumps.  They discovered the malware on December 10th and had it contained by the 12th.  An external forensics firm was hired and is currently investigating to support their review.

Here’s what to do if affected:
“Wawa customers can call 1-844-386-9559 to ask questions and get free credit monitoring and identity-theft protection if their personal information was affected. Consumers should also review payment card account statements for any unauthorized charges.”
