Michael's/Aaron Brothers Art Mart join the ranks of hacked retailers

Details are very preliminary and sketchy, it was suspected that both crafting store retailers had been hacked then it was found out that Michael's bought out Aaron Bros, so they're really one in the same. I expect the date range of the compromise will probably come out next week and we'll begin getting a feeling for what the scope of the hack is. Cards are appearing on underworld web sites and they all traced back to Michael's or Aaron Brothers as the common point.

In other retailer hacking news, Neiman Marcus revealed that they were compromised from the middle of July to the end of October 2013.

I think it's time for me to create a 'Retailer Compromise' tag.
