"from Feb. 8 through May 6 [...] customers' credit and debit card information may have been exposed through tampered checkout terminals."

The article links to a full list of affected stores. According to the popular press articles people are finding their bank accounts emptied due to the fraudulent machinery capturing things like PIN as well as card numbers.

This is apparently not completely new news, but it was new to me.
