Did You Shop at These Stores? If You Did, Thieves May Already Have Your Credit Card Info
It’s a startling discovery out of Ohio: Confirmation from a major supermarket chain that credit-card skimmers were embedded inside PIN pads at several of its stores.
According to WOIO-TV in Cleveland, Giant Eagle, the Midwest-based grocer, announced Wednesday that four of its stores had been targeted in two Ohio metropolitan areas.
Three of the stores were in the Columbus area — one on N. High Street in Columbus itself, the others on Biddulph Road in nearby Brooklyn and on Powell Road in Powell.
Two of the stores were in the Cleveland area, meanwhile: One on Snow Road in Parma, the other on Mayfield Road in South Euclid.
The first skimmer — which steals card information and potentially your PIN number — was found Nov.
