Watch your cards. They stealing er'rythang up in here.

MasterCard confirmed Friday it is investigating a potential breach at a US-based credit card processor.

"As a result, we have alerted payment card issuers regarding certain MasterCard accounts that are potentially at risk," the firm said in a statement to NewsCore.
The statement did not reveal how many cards had been compromised.

However, the Krebs on Security blog, which first reported the incident, said financial sector sources "are calling the breach 'massive' and say it may involve more than 10 million compromised card numbers."

The breach also affected Visa account customers, according to Krebs.
