Wawa's Stolen Payment Cards Are Now for Sale

A long-running marketplace for selling stolen payment card data is advertising a large new batch linked to the breach at Wawa convenience stores late last year.

Joker's Stash claims its latest dump contains as many as 30 million payment cards from 40 states.

Other large breaches include Home Depot, which in 2014 saw 56 million payment cards stolen, and TJX in 2007, which had 46.5 million card details stolen.

"We have alerted our payment card processor, payment card brands, and card issuers to heighten fraud monitoring activities to help further protect any customer information," the company says.

"We continue to encourage our customers to remain vigilant in reviewing charges on their payment card statements and to promptly report any unauthorized use to the bank or financial institution that issued their payment card by calling the number on the back of the card," Wawa says.
