[Tech] Wal-Mart: 800.000 transazioni 'impazzite'

Un malfunzionamento hardware (parrebbe escluso, per una volta, l'intervento del "solito" pirata informatico) avrebbe avuto come risultato l'addebito di somme doppie o triple rispetto all'importo reale degli acquisti su 800.000 carte di credito.

The excess Visa and Mastercard charges, which occurred Wednesday and were posted on Thursday, have been reversed, First Data spokeswoman Staci Busby said Sunday.



Busby said the problem showed up on reports the company generates for quality control purposes. She said it's unclear how many customers were affected, and that she had no other details about the hardware problem.



"Anyone who conducted a transaction with a Visa or Mastercard on March 31 should check their statements," Busby said.
