Label giant Avery says website hacked to steal credit cards

Based on the provided sources, there is no specific information about an "Avery data breach" or an "Avery website" related to credit card theft or an e-commerce security incident in 2024.

Here are some key points from the sources that might be relevant to the broader context of security and fraud, although they do not specifically address an "Avery" related incident:

Payment Card Fraud

• Worldwide payment card fraud losses increased by 1.1% in 2023 to $33.83 billion. The U.S. is particularly vulnerable, especially in transactions where the card is not present, such as e-commerce payments. The Nilson Report predicts that fraud losses will continue to rise, reaching $403.88 billion over the next decade1.

Cybersecurity Incidents

• A significant cybersecurity incident occurred at the U.S. Treasury Department in December 2024, involving Chinese state-sponsored hackers who exploited vulnerabilities in a third-party software component from BeyondTrust. This incident highlights the risks of supply chain attacks and the ongoing threat from state-sponsored cyberoperations2.

General Security and Fraud

• There is no specific mention of Avery or any related entity in the context of a data breach or security incident in the provided sources. However, general advice on avoiding scams and fraud, such as those targeting Medicare beneficiaries, emphasizes the importance of vigilance and protecting personal information3.

If you are looking for information on a specific entity named "Avery," such as Avery County Schools or another organization, there is no relevant data in the provided sources. However, if Avery County Schools were involved in a data breach, it might be reported separately and not included in these sources. For example, the PowerSchool update from Avery County Schools does mention a data breach, but it is related to PowerSchool and not specifically to Avery County Schools' own systems4.
