The online sector of GameStop is currently investigating a potential security breach in which credit card details of its customers may have been stolen.
In a statement released by the company, explains:
“GameStop recently received notification from a third party that it believed payment card data from cards used on the GameStop.com website was being offered for sale on a website. That day a leading security firm was engaged to investigate these claims. GameStop has and will continue to work non-stop to address this report and take appropriate measures to eradicate any issue that may be identified."
GameStop has issued an apology to its customers about the ongoing situation and has asked anyone who has bought anything from the site to be vigilant by checking credit card statements.
"We regret any concern this situation may cause…GameStop would like to remind its customers that it is always advisable to monitor payment card account statements for unauthorized charges, “reads the official statement.
“If you identify such a charge, report it immediately to the bank that issued the card because payment card network rules generally state that cardholders are not responsible for unauthorized charges that are timely reported."
GameStop will provide further updates once investigations have taken place.
