A computer hacker has gained access to more than 5 million Visa and Mastercard credit card accounts in the US. The two companies said on Tuesday that none of the information obtained, which would include credit card numbers, was used in a fraudulent way.

I just heard on the news tonight that the hacker apparently got 8 million credit card numbers instead of the reported 5 million.
