What is the Weis Market Data Breach About?
If you've ever used a credit card at a gas pump or self-checkout kiosk, you may have unknowingly come across a skimmer.

A skimmer is a small device that fits over or inside a legitimate card reader, like the ones you see at checkout counters, ATMs, or gas stations. When you swipe or insert your card, the skimmer secretly copies your card number, expiration date, and sometimes even your PIN.Criminals later retrieve this stolen data and use it to clone cards or make fraudulent purchases. Some skimmers even come with tiny hidden cameras or fake keypads to capture PINs.

These devices were used to steal customer payment card information over a period of weeks before being detected and removed.According to reports, the breach may have exposed the card details of thousands of customers who shopped in-store.
