More signs point to OfficeDepot/OfficeMax and Sam’s Club/Wal-Mart as being the retailers suspected of letting thousands of customer’s debit cards and PINs to be stolen.

We do purchase office supplies from the local OfficeDepot, but use a corporate credit card, not a debit card.

Citibank, Bank of America Corp. Wells Fargo Bank, Farmer’s and Merchants National Bank, several credit unions, and Washington Mutual seem to be the affected banks, at least so far.

Debit cards in the UK have just changed over to the system in use on the continent where you enter your pin number directly into a machine linked to the bank. It has already cut card fraud by quite an amount.
