JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — (ActionNewsJax) VyStar Credit Union in a release Thursday said the recent data breach of VyStar credit and debit cards is not due to a compromise of VyStar systems, but that of a major retailer.
"VyStar wants to assure its more than 460,000 members that this is NOT a compromise of any VyStar systems or data. The card data information was compromised at a retailer's system," the release detailed.
The credit union has been working with the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office and federal authorities to determine how the breach happened.
JSO tells VyStar that other financial institutions are also affected by the breach and "financial institutions across the nation are beginning to report the fraud to their local authorities."
In connection to the breach, JSO is seeking a man and released an image of the man leaving a store. JSO did not say which store or when the photo was taken.
Police said the man may be around 30 years old, possibly driving a burgundy minivan.
Police are asking you to call Crime Stoppers if you recognize the man. The number is 866-845-TIPS. You will remain anonymous and could receive a cash reward of up to $3,000 if your tip leads to an arrest.
