  Following an extensive review of its security systems, OfficeMax says it 
has no reason to believe it was the company that suffered the data breach 
that resulted in thousands of cases of debit card fraud.

On Tuesday, the office-supply chain said that an independent study by a 
security expert found no indication that the company's customer 
information was lost. An internal investigation came to the same 
conclusion.

"OfficeMax takes the security of our customers' information with the 
utmost seriousness and is committed to protecting private customer 
information," the company said in a statement. "As we have stated 
consistently, we have no knowledge of a security breach at OfficeMax."

But the company wouldn't explain why it was still involved in the 
investigation into the debit card thefts.
