Michaels Says It’s Found Possible Customer-Accounts Breach

Michaels Stores Inc., the world’s largest arts-and-crafts retailer, said some of its customer payment-card data may have been used fraudulently, making it the third U.S. retailer to report such a breach since December.

Michael Fox, a spokesman for Michaels, declined to say when the data-security attack may have occurred, when the company learned of it or how many customer accounts may be affected. He said the matter is being investigated and any new information will be posted on the company’s website.
