(Atlanta-AP) -- B-J's Wholesale Club is warning that thousands of members may have had their credit card information stolen because of a security breach of the company's computer system.
The company says on its Web site that it is taking steps to address the problem, including getting a computer security firm to review its technology system.
A club member says she first learned of the situation when she tried to withdraw money from an A-T-M at her bank and her card was refused.
She says her bank told her it had canceled the cards of at least 16-hundred customers who had used their cards at BJ's.
The Virginia Pilot newspaper reports the Navy Federal Credit Union canceled bank cards of 40-thousand of its members and established new account numbers because of security concerns.
