September 25, 2010

Zach Pluhacek and Cory Matteson provide the latest update to recent 
reports of card fraud in the Lincoln area:

     Two Lincoln golf courses and a restaurant say they are the sources of 
more than 200 credit and debit card numbers stolen recently from 
Lincoln-area residents.

     In a news release Friday, Wilderness Ridge golf course and restaurant, 
1800 Wilderness Woods Place, and Hidden Valley Golf, 10501 Pine Lake Road, 
announced they had uncovered a security breach that exposed the card 
numbers of its recent customers.

     .All offending systems were immediately shut down,. the release said.

     It.s not clear how far back the breach stretched. Lincoln Police Chief 
Tom Casady said one affected cardholder hadn.t been to either business 
since March.

     As of Friday morning, police had taken 225 reports of credit and debit 
card fraud they believe to be connected, Officer Katie Flood said.
