Disney Movie Club members privacy breach
Disney alerts movie-club members to privacy breach (http://www.orlandosentinel.com/business/orl-disneyclub1407jul14,0,534745.story)
A Wisconsin man is arrested in connection with an attempt to sell credit-card information
Orlando Sentinel - FL
Credit-card information for an undisclosed number of Disney Movie Club members worldwide was reportedly offered for sale - illegally - by an employee of Alta Resources Inc., a credit-card order-processing company for Disney Movie Club, who was then arrested by federal agents.
Disney sent letters last week to an undisclosed number of members of its movie club, warning them that their names and addresses, and their credit cards' types, numbers and expiration dates, were in the hands of a suspect arrested in a federal undercover sting. The letters assure people that there was no indication that the credit-card information was offered to anyone other than to undercover federal agents, nor was there any indication it was used to buy anything. The letters also state that the cards' security-code numbers apparently were not involved.
Still, Disney warned the club members to contact their banks and check their statements carefully. Disney referred them to a telephone hotline if they had any questions.
