Lets wait until the "he said, she said" smoke screen would disappear.
As far as we know, *something* happened. Personally, I do not believe
that its a "much ado about nothing" situation...

Elsewhere in the article I quoted, The Bank of America is reported as denying
that the cancellations reported stem from a single incident, whether it be at
a major retailer or anywhere else.

"The San Francisco Chronicle reported Thursday that Bank of America Corp. canceled debit cards and suspended online 
account access for numerous customers after a breach at a third party the Charlotte company would not identify.

However, B of A disputed the article's conclusion that the customer notices cited by the Chronicle stemmed from a 
single incident.

The newspaper reported that the company told customers in letters this week that a breach occurred at "a third-party 
location unrelated to Bank of America."

According to the article, B of A would not give the number of customers affected, but it said the breach did not 
occur at a processor."

This is "he said, she said", at least in terms of official pronouncements,
and that is a problem.
