More credit card information has been compromised, and it affects nearly 3 million customers who shop at Michaels, North America’s largest arts and crafts specialty retailer.

The store says the security breach affected 7 percent of transactions at its stores from early May of last year to late January of this year.

The stores investigation has uncovered that some credit card and debit card numbers and expiration dates were compromised.

Here are the additional facts determined from the continuing investigation:

  • The analysis conducted by the security firms and the Company shows that approximately 2.6 million cards may have been impacted, which represents about 7% of payment cards used at Michaels stores in the U.S. during the relevant time period. The locations and potential dates of exposure for each affected Michaels store are listed on www.michaels.com.
  • The affected systems contained certain payment card information, such as payment card number and expiration date, about both Michaels and Aaron Brothers customers. There is no evidence that other customer personal information, such as name, address or PIN, was at risk in connection with this issue.
  • Regarding Michaels stores, the attack targeted a limited portion of the point-of-sale systems at a varying number of stores between May 8, 2013 and January 27, 2014. Only a small percentage of payment cards used in the affected stores during the times of exposure were impacted by this issue.
  • Regarding Aaron Brothers, the Company has confirmed that between June 26, 2013 and February 27, 2014, 54 Aaron Brothers stores were affected by this malware. The Company estimates that approximately 400,000 cards were potentially impacted during this period. The locations for each affected Aaron Brothers store are listed on www.aaronbrothers.com.
  • The Company has received a limited number of reports from the payment card brands and banks of fraudulent use of payment cards potentially connected to Michaels or Aaron Brothers.

But, Michaels says there is no evidence that information such as customer names or personal identification numbers were stolen.

We checked and the only Central Florida stores affected are in Clermont, Daytona Beach, Kissimmee and Lady Lake.
