Capitol Hill Breach Update shows that over 1,000 cards compromised from overseas hacker

We reported earlier about a rash of credit card fraud centered in the Capitol Hill area of Seattle. Come to find out, the breach originally only affecting 100 or so people may end up affecting over 1,000 credit and debit card accounts. It has been discovered that the breach happened at the Broadway Grill restaurant, from here the overseas hacker was able to leapfrog from the restaurant's access to a critical server in the transaction process where account informaiton was available. From here the hacker had access to hundreds of other cards.

With Alpine Payment Systems Compliance assistance program, we ensure that customers are meeting all requirements of PCI data security to eliminate the risk of breaches such as this. With the Alpine Payment Systems Compliance Assistance program covering the back of house and the Dine Fraud Free Program eliminating the risk of skimming by not letting customers cards leave their hands, restaurant owners can rest assured that these sort of crimes will not happen to their establishment.
