Bookstore chain Barnes & Noble announced Tuesday PIN pads had been tampered with in 63 of their stores in nine states, including seven in the Chicago area.
The seven stores are:
- 1441 W. Webster, Chicago
- 1130 N. State St., Chicago
- 5380 Route 14, Crystal Lake
- 20600 N. Rand Rd., Deer Park
- 728 N. Waukegan Rd., Deerfield
- 1630 Sherman Ave., Evanston
- 1468 Springhill Mall Blvd., West Dundee
The company insisted that purchases on their website, NOOK and NOOK mobile apps were not affected and the company's database was secure. Barnes & Noble said an investigation into the tampering found that only one PIN pad was tampered with in each of the stores.
