Were You Affected by the Staples Data Breach?
If you shopped at Staples between July 20, 2014 to September 16, 2014, your credit card information may be compromised.
The data security breach affected 115 of US Staples stores and possibly exposing almost 1.2 million Staples customers.
Because many of us shop at Staples using our Ink Bold and Ink Plus cards to get 5X Chase Ultimate Rewards points, you should check to see if the Staples store you normally shop at was affected.
If you're like me and also shop at Staples when traveling, you should also check the list against your Ink Bold and Ink Plus statements.
Staples is offering free identity protection services to include credit monitoring, identity theft protection, and a free credit report through Experian, to all customers who shopped at any of the 115 stores.
If you have questions, you can call Staples toll-free at 1-866-274-4371 between the hours of 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. EST Monday to Friday, and 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
