"Credit Card Skimmers Discovered at Multiple Ohio Giant Eagle Locations"

Giant Eagle discovered credit card skimmers at five of their Ohio stores, including three in Cuyahoga County, which were installed on cash register pin pads. Security expert Alex Hamerstone from TrustedSec highlighted the evolution of skimming devices, making them harder to detect. Customers who used the magnetic strip on their cards may have had their information stolen, while those using chip insertion or tap should be safe. Giant Eagle has sent the skimmers for forensic analysis, retrained employees, and notified affected banks and credit card providers. Hamerstone advises using credit cards over debit for better fraud protection and signing up for transaction alerts.
