Mastercard has said that over 40 million card accounts were exposed to potential fraud last Friday due to a security breach that occurred at a third-party processor of payment card transactions.
"It looks like a hacker gained access to CardSystems' database and installed a script that acts like a virus, searching out certain types of card transaction data," said MasterCard spokeswoman Jessica Antle.
