Data Lost on 650,000 Credit Card Holders
Personal information on about 650,000 customers of J.C. Penney and up to 100 other retailers could be compromised after a computer tape went missing.
GE Money, which handles credit card operations for Penney and many other retailers, said Thursday night that the missing information includes Social Security numbers for about 150,000 people.
The tape was being stored at Iron Mountain, a data storage company. The tape was not checked out, but it can’t be located.

Good thing I never shop at J.C. Penny. I hope that none of the other stores are any that I frequent either though:-).
