Sticky Situation: Avery’s Data Breach Leaves 61,193 Customers in a Bind

Avery Products Corporation just found out their website’s a hacker’s theme park. A card skimmer rode the “avery.com” roller coaster for months, snatching credit card details like they were carnival prizes. Over 61,000 customers might find their bank accounts doing a disappearing act. Free credit monitoring, anyone?
