Eddie Bauer announced on August 18th that it is the latest retailer who has become a victim of a “sophisticated” cyber intrusion that has compromised all of the cash registers in the 350 Eddie Bauer stores throughout the U.S. and Canada.

The malware compromised the point-of-sale system and compromised the names, credit and debit card numbers, security codes, and expiration dates of every credit and debit card used at an Eddie Bauer store from January 2, 2016 through July 17, 2016.

Eddie Bauer, like other retailers in the same boat, is offering customers identity theft protection services for those customers who used a credit or debit card at any of its stores during that time frame.
