(RNN) – Retail stores for handbag company Vera Bradley were hacked between July 15 and Sept. 23, compromising credit and debit card information of customers.
The company said in a news release on their website someone gained unauthorized access to the payment processing system. The hackers also installed a program to search out data that is found on magnetic strips on payment cards, such as name, address, card numbers, expiration date and verification codes.
The company’s website was not affected, only Vera Bradley retail stores.
Vera Bradley is working with law enforcement as well as a computer security firm, and encourages customers to check their statements.
