After discovering a credit card skimmer, Costco admits a data breach.

Customers who recently made purchases at one of Costco Wholesale Corporation’s stores have received notification letters informing them that their credit card information may have been stolen.

According to Fortune 500 rankings, the retail giant—also known as Costco Wholesale and Costco—is an American multinational that runs a sizable chain of membership-only retail locations. It is the fifth-largest retailer in the world and the tenth-largest firm in the US by total revenue.

It runs e-commerce websites with 737 warehouses across the world that cater to the Americas, Europe, and Asia, among other global regions.

During a regular check by Costco staff, a credit card skimming device was found in one of the company’s warehouses, leading to the discovery of the breach.

The business got rid of the gadget, let the authorities know, and is now assisting the police in their investigation.

In breach notification letters, Costco informed possibly impacted customers that they had recently visited a Costco facility where a payment card skimming device had been found.

“Our member records show that throughout the possible operational period of the device, you swiped your payment card to make a purchase at the impacted terminal.”

probable theft of customer financial information
Costco said that if those who placed the card theft device had been successful in accessing the data prior to the skimmer being discovered and taken out, then consumers affected by the incident may have had their payment information stolen.

The magnetic stripe of your credit card, which contains your name, card number, card expiration date, and CVV, may have been obtained by unauthorised individuals if they were able to remove information from the device before it was identified, according to Costco.

Customers were given advice by the retailer to check their bank and credit card statements for fraudulent payments and alert the appropriate financial institutions to any suspect activities.

The total number of customers who were impacted or the warehouse where the skimmer device was discovered were not disclosed in the data breach notification letters sent to affected consumers.

Although the business withheld details on the incident’s exact timing, Costco customers have been complaining about fraudulent charges on their credit cards at least since February.

Critical GitLab flaw permits account takeover by attackers

Critical GitLab flaw permits account takeover by attackers

GitLab has patched a critical severity flaw that may have let remote attackers exploit hardcoded passwords to seize control of user accounts.

Both the Community Edition (CE) and Enterprise Edition of GitLab are impacted by the flaw, which was identified internally and is designated CVE-2022-1162 (EE).

During OmniAuth-based registration in GitLab CE/EE, static passwords were unintentionally set, which led to this vulnerability.

In a security advisory released on Thursday, the GitLab team stated that “a hardcoded password was set for accounts registered using an OmniAuth provider (e.g. OAuth, LDAP, SAML) in GitLab CE/EE versions 14.7 prior to 14.7.7, 14.8 prior to 14.8.5, and 14.9 prior to 14.9.2 allowing attackers to potentially take over accounts.”

In order to thwart such assaults, GitLab strongly advised users to update all GitLab installations right away to the most recent versions (14.9.2, 14.8.5, or 14.7.7).

We STRONGLY RECOMMEND UPGRADING TO THE LATEST VERSION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE FOR ALL INSTALLATIONS RUNNING A VERSION AFFECTED BY THE ISSUES DESCRIB

A code patch made two days ago reveals that GitLab removed the ‘lib/gitlab/password.rb’ file, which was used to give the ‘TEST DEFAULT’ constant a shoddy hardcoded password.

Some GitLab users had their passwords reset.
GitLab also stated that as part of the CVE-2022-1162 mitigation effort, it reset a select few GitLab.com users’ passwords.

Additionally, it did not discover any proof that any accounts had been compromised by hackers exploiting the hardcoded password security weakness.

As of 15:38 UTC, “We completed a reset of GitLab.com passwords for a chosen selection of users,” the GitLab staff stated.

Although there is no evidence to suggest that users’ or accounts’ security has been compromised, we are nonetheless taking precautions for our users’ safety.

A GitLab representative provided the information already included in the advisory with BleepingComputer when asked how many Gitlab.com users had their passwords reset, adding that they only did it for “a selected set of people.”

A programme to recognise affected user accounts
GitLab has developed a script that self-managed instance administrators can use to find user accounts that might be affected by CVE-2022-1162, despite the fact that the firm claims no user accounts have been compromised so far.

Administrators are urged to reset the users’ passwords after identifying any user accounts that might have been impacted.

GitLab claims that over 100,000 businesses utilise its DevOps platform, and it has over 30 million estimated registered users from 66 different nations.
