Greetings everyone,

Yet again another data breach, this time Involving Saks Fifth Avenue and also Lord & Taylor. Will our Information and credentials ever be safe with a given entity? Never.

A well-known ring of cybercriminals has obtained more than five million credit and debit card numbers from customers of Saks Fifth Avenue and Lord & Taylor, according to a cybersecurity research firm that specializes in tracking stolen financial data. The data, the firm said, appears to have been stolen using software that was implanted into the cash register systems at the stores and that siphoned card numbers until last month.

The theft is one of the largest known breaches of a retailer and shows just how difficult it is to secure credit-card transaction systems
