Hudson’s Bay Co., the Toronto-based department store operator, is investigating a data security issue at some of its North American stores.
The probe concerns information from payment cards used at certain Saks Fifth Avenue, Saks Off 5th, and Lord & Taylor stores, the company said in a statement Sunday. Details from more than 5 million credit and debit cards are up for sale, according to a post from Gemini Advisory, a security firm. An external representative for Hudson’s Bay declined to comment on Gemini’s report.
