An investigation into thousands of compromised debit cards that was
widely reported this week appears to involve two of the nation's
largest retailers, according to multiple law enforcement and banking
sources.

This week, two major banks joined a credit union in canceling a
combined 200,000 accounts belonging to debit-card holders. In letters
to affected customers, Bank of America and Washington Mutual said they
were canceling debit cards because of a security breach at a
"third-party" location. Officials from both banks and law enforcement
agencies have refused to identify the location.
