Three class actions have been filed in Alabama against
MAPCO for alleged security breaches. Pittman, Dutton & Hellums, P.C., filed
one of those suits on behalf of a Tuscaloosa resident.
Although the extent of the breach is unknown at
this time, it is thought to be enormous. It may be that all 377 of MAPCO stores
have been hit. The MAPCO family of stores include MAPCO Express®, MAPCO Mart®,
Discount Food Mart™, Delta Express®, Fast Food & Fuel™.
Another article has been published detailing the
breach and the lawsuits. Tracy Kitten, the journalist covering the story, did
an excellent job: http://www.bankinfosecurity.com/mapco-express-sued-over-malware-attack-a-5894
We have reason to believe that one MAPCO location
in particular, located in Rising Fawn, Georgia, off of Interstate 59, was hit
by the hackers.
The relevant dates of the security breach
occurred between March 19-25, April 14-15 and April 20-21 of 2013. If you used
a credit or debit card at any MAPCO
location and were injured by the
MAPCO breach, please contact Booth Samuels at 1-866-515-8880 or by email at booths@pittmandutton.com
