A casino owner in Michigan is warning its players after detecting bank-card-stealing malware in its payment systems.
 
The Four Winds Casino Resort, which operates three casinos and a service station on tribal lands in the state, said it found the software nasty after banks alerted it to fraudulent transactions.

LOL!  I agree!
 
Pretty serious situation though... Good chance of a huge number of affected accounts, not to mention the damage to the casino reputation

There have been several casinos hit lately, this may be the 4th or 5th in recent months I think.
