American Payroll Association (APA) is warning clients of a breach discovered recently that exposed large amounts of financial and personal data. Hackers exploited vulnerability to deploy card-skimming techniques and steal credit card data. Identity thieves gained access to login information (i.e. username and password) and individual payment card information and associated data. The APA seems to admit its technicians failed to deploy the necessary patches at the right time, leading to hackers exploiting known vulnerabilities in its systems. If you believe you are affected by this hack, contact the APA to seek coverage for your credit card monitoring service.”]
