CVS has joined the pantheon of compromised retailers; after Target and Home Depot, CVS has apparently succumbed to a hacking attack.
The online photo department of CVS is operated independently, and it’s now temporarily closed down.
CVSPhoto.com has been hacked.
Currently, at CVSPhoto.com the following announcement is displayed:
“We have been made aware that customer credit card information collected by the independent vendor who manages and hosts CVSPhoto.com may have been compromised. As a precaution, as our investigation is underway we are temporarily shutting down access to online and related mobile photo services. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Customers who provided credit card information for transactions on CVSPhoto.com are advised to check their credit card statements for any fraudulent or suspicious activity and to call their bank or financial institution to report anything of concern.
Customer registrations related to online photo processing and CVSPhoto.com are completely separate from CVS.com, optical.cvs.com, cvs.com/MinuteClinic on line bill pay and our pharmacies. Financial transactions on CVS.com, optical.cvs.com, cvs.com/MinuteClinic and in-store are not affected.
Nothing is more central to us than protecting the privacy and security of our customer information, including financial information. We are working closely with the vendor and our financial partners and will share updates as we know more.
For more information, call 1-800-SHOP-CVS.”
In other words, expect CVS to lose a lot of business due to this; in the meantime, make sure your credit cards that might have been used to pay for CVSPhoto.com products get cancelled; one cannot be too safe.
