The Detroit Zoo, along with eight other zoos across the country, had their POS systems hacked.
Service Systems Associates (SSA), a third party vendor that handles retail and concession payments, experienced a point-of-sale (POS) breach that affected customers between March 23 and June 25 of this year.
It is currently unknown as to how many victims there were in the attack.
The hackers obtained customer names, credit and debit card numbers, expiration dates, and three-digit CVV security codes.
The hacks occurred at the gift shops of all nine zoos.
SSA has notified the credit card companies of the situation and is working with law enforcement and the forensic investigator firm Sikich to investigate the breach.
“Upon learning of the breach, SSA installed a separate credit card processing system in the gift shops and new transactions have not been affected by the previous breach."
