Michaels last week disclosed that 2.6 million credit and debit cards may have been compromised at its stores over an eight-month period. The breach was detected only after the retailer was tipped off by a third party, just one month after Target reported a massive breach that resulted in the compromise of 40 million payment cards. “We have now identified and fully contained the incident, and the malware no longer presents a threat while shopping at Michaels or Aaron Brothers,” CEO Chuck Rubin said. A privacy advocate and data breach information blogger lauds Michaels for quickly warning its customers.”]
