Global Payments Inc. says hackers may have gained access to servers containing personal information. Global Payments says the exposure is limited to information about merchants, but industry experts question whether consumer information also was leaked. Cardholder names, addresses and Social Security numbers were not accessed by criminals during the breach, the company says. Some sources have suggested the breach may have exposed as many as 7 million accounts – far more than the 1.5 million Global has reported. The breach likely stems from a breach that dates back to 2011 or earlier, affected card issuers say.”]
