A credit card breach at Brooks Brothers took a year to get under control, according to a data breach notification filed this week.

 

The New York City-headquartered clothing giant said in the advisory that a hacker obtained the credit card details of customers who visited any of the hundreds of stores in the US and Puerto Rico affected by the breach.

 

That includes the name, card number, expiration date, and verification code, according to the advisory — more than enough information to make online payments.
