All Wawa PoS (point of sale e.g. cash registers) had malware stealing credit cards on it from March until December.
I don't know if using chip readers makes you immune from the fallout, but if your card doesn't have a chip yet and you used your card at Wawa, get a new one ASAP.

@0x56 ha. This is why that visa story came out about gas stations
Chip readers do not put card numbers in RAM of pos systems. Most retail breaches involve planting RAM scrapers to get the numbers.
@ucantstop_me - this makes sense.
@0x56 I used to do the net forensics in data breaches for a large retailer
I didnt read the piece yet but I'm curious if March is when the criminals started poking around (it can take a year of recon to establish a c2, addressing, pos architecture. That doesn't happen in a week lol. But if they have been bleeding cards since march then banks/visa/mc/etc have fucked up big time..which surprises me since the algos are much better since that rash of big retail breaches that started with Target
@0x56 I'm not sure. I'll read the articles on a bit because I'm curious
@ucantstop_me - perhaps the cards skimmed weren't used yet? or not often?
