Editors of the Frankfurter Rundschau newspaper were stunned to receive a
box containing the microfilmed details of tens of thousands of credit
card holders last week.

The anonymously-dispatched microfilm included customer details including
names, address, credit card numbers and payment records. A few PIN
notification letters were included within the parcel received by
Frankfurter Rundschau but, contrary to early reports, PINs were not
included on the microfilm received by the paper.
