Hackers have finally put up the payment card details of more than 30 million Wawa breach victims for sale at Joker’s Stash, one of the largest dark web marketplaces where cybercriminals buy and sell stolen payment card data.
In the latest statement released yesterday, Wawa confirmed that the company is aware of reports of criminal attempts to sell customers’ payment card data and to help further protect its customers, the company has ‘alerted payment card processors, payment card brands and card issuers to heighten fraud monitoring activities.’
Unfortunately, the only way to guarantee complete protection is to replace any cards used at one of the 850 locations of which there are over 250 in New Jersey.
Customers who bought anything from any of the Wawa convenience stores between March and December last year are advised to block the affected cards and request a new one from your respective financial institution.
