Forever 21 recently announced that 98,930 credit and debit card numbers have been stolen from their computers. This data breach was just one part of a larger theft of more than 40 million credit and debit card numbers, at least some of which were then sold online. Forever 21 customers could be at risk if they made purchases at the store on 3/25/04, 3/26/04, 6/23/04, 7/2/04, 7/3/04, 8/4/07, 8/5/07, 8/13/07 or 8/14/07, or if they shopped at the Fresno, CA location between 11/26/03 and 10/24/05. If you did make a purchase at Forever 21 on any of these dates, you should review your credit card statements for unexpected purchases, and you should also examine a copy of your credit report.
