American Express is alerting some cardholders of a data breech. The breech was on a merchant processors end and not the American Express side.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Protecting the security of our Card Members’ information is very important to us and we strive to let you know
about security concerns as soon as possible. We became aware that a third party service provider engaged by
numerous merchants experienced unauthorized access to its system. Account information of some of our Card
Members, including some of your account information, may have been involved. It is important to note that
American Express owned or controlled systems were not compromised by this incident, and we are providing this
notice to you as a precautionary measure.WHAT INFORMATION WAS INVOLVED?
At this time, we have been informed that your current or previously issued American Express Card account number,
your name and other Card information such as the expiration date, may have been compromised. Please be aware
that you may receive additional letters from us if more than one of your American Express Card accounts were
involved.WHAT WE ARE DOING.
Please be assured we are vigilantly monitoring your account for fraud and, if it should occur, you are not liable for
fraudulent charges on your account.
