The Toronto Star reports that three major banks – CIBC, Bank of Nova Scotia, and Bank of Montreal, are replacing thousands of credit cards in the wake of the Winners and Homesense security breach. A source says that some fraudulent purchases have been made using cards hit by the breach.

I received my replacement BoM MasterCard last week. It was good timing as the signature had worn out on my old card

Canada is getting like some Eastern Bloc countries. My card was used in Toronto a couple of weeks ago. It was traced to a scammed ATM in Niagara on the Lake where I keep my boat. HSBC had several incidents traced to a BOM machine.
Credit Cards
Why did CIBC, Bank of Nova Scotia, and Bank of Montreal replace credit cards affected by Winners & HomeSense fraud breach, but not the other big banks? Makes no sense no pun intended
