Sunbury, Pennsylvania, On February 28, 2024 a skimmer was discovered at store 229 located at located at 7005 Security Blvd, Windsor Mill Maryland. On April 13 2024, a second skimmer was discovered at store 290 located at 12100 Central Avenue, Mitchellville Maryland. On April 15, 2024, we discovered a third skimmer at Store 70 located at 2294 Blue Water Blvd, Odenton Maryland. Upon discovering the skimmers, we promptly began an internal investigation and engaged a forensic security firm to conduct an investigation. Additionally, we notified law enforcement and our payment processor.
The skimmers were capable of capturing track data from credit/debit cards, including PIN data. In light of that, out of an abundance of caution, we conducted a comprehensive review of the credit and debit card transactions during the relevant periods and determined that certain individuals’ credit/debit card numbers with and without PINs related to certain transactions from Feb 28, 2024 at store 229, April 4, 2024 to April 15, 2024 at store 290 , and April 9, 2024 to April 15, 2024 at store 70 certain transactions form these dates at these stores may have been accessed by an unknown 3rd party.
