Hackers Rack Up Credit Card Charges After Data Breach at Dry Cleaners

A chain of dry cleaners in Connecticut is warning customers about a potential data breach.

Swiss Cleaners, which has eight locations in Connecticut, alerted customers that hackers accessed cardholder names, card numbers, expiration dates and verification codes.

“We believe that an unauthorized person was able to install a program on a server in our payment card system that was designed to make a copy of payment card data as it was being routed through our system to our payment process,” the company said in an online statement.
