Graham Cluley – Michaels, the biggest arts and crafts retailer in the United States, may be the latest big name to have fallen foul of hackers.
The company has published a warning to customers that it might have experienced a “data security attack”, raising concerns in the security industry that Michaels may have joined Neiman Marcus and Target in the list of retailers who have become casualties to RAM-scraping malware targeting point-of-sale computers (also known as POS or cash registers).
