message: Over 500 customers were possibly affected involving 24 Lucky stores. Lucky inspected 224 stores in 
Northern California, apparently aware of skimming circuitry implanted in some of their card readers
(made by VeriFone), which also used wireless Blutooth technology.  Some customers later said Lucky 
should have alerted customers as soon as it knew of this (Lucky waited until Nov. 23, 2011).
But the CFO of Lucky's corporate owner, Save Mart Supermarkets, Stephen Ackerman said they thought 
they had stopped the problem by hiring experts to remove the devices found at the kiosks. They 
later advised customers to check with their financial experts and to close their accounts. Customers 
claiming they were victimized said money was withdrawn from their accounts and there were 
attempts to log in to their accounts. 
IMHO encryption and an EMV platform despite the added costs would circumvent a lot of 
theft and fraud arising from the use of credit and debit cards with magnetic strips.
