By Jamie Sheller

The RBS WorldPay security breach affected 1.5 million cardholders and their personal information. RBS WorldPay is an electronic payment processing service, based in Atlanta. In addition to processing debit, credit and ATM transactions, RBS WorldPay processes gift card and payroll card transactions. The security breach occurred when an unauthorized user accessed the computer system. As a result of the security breach, personal information, such as addresses, names and Social Security numbers, may have been compromised. One hundred instances of actual fraud have happened since the breach was discovered on November 10. Situations such as this have the potential for sparking a class action lawsuit.
