Genesco Cyber Attack Investigation on Possible Card Theft

Genesco Inc., which operates stores that sell shoes and hats, said Friday it was the victim of a cyber attack, and the extent of the damage is unknown. Genesco said it has no reason to believe that personal information such as names, addresses or social security numbers, were stolen. But it said it does not know the extent of the intrusion and is conducting a full investigation with outside experts.

And Genesco said it is possible that credit or debit card numbers, expiration dates and verification codes were stolen.
