In what appears to be a widening incident, Bank of America, MasterCard and
Visa all announced this week that they have been informed of a potential
security breach at a U.S.-based retailer.

The companies refused to name the retailer involved, but at least one bank
said that systems belonging to Wal-Mart Stores, the world's largest
retailer, may be to blame.
