Michaels confirms breach of as many as 2.6M debit, credit cards

The country's largest crafts chain, Michaels, confirmed about 2.6 million cards, or roughly 7 percent of all debit and credit cards used at its stores, may have been affected in a security breach. The company says it contained the incident, which began last year.

The details come nearly three months after Michaels disclosed it may have been a victim of a data breach and that it was working with law enforcement authorities, banks and payment processors.
