Numerous Bank of America customers have had their debit cards canceled and
have been blocked from accessing their accounts online after an unnamed
company experienced what appears to be a major security breach.

BofA is refusing to identify the company, saying in letters to customers
this week only that the breach occurred "at a third-party location
unrelated to Bank of America."

This is unusual. Past data-security breaches involving financial
institutions have centered on systems being compromised at either bank
offices or those of affiliated firms.

Michael Chee, a BofA spokesman, confirmed Wednesday that the breach in
this latest case wasn't at a processing center used by the bank or any
other affiliate.
