The notice currently on the CVSPhoto website.

If you’ve used your credit or debit card to purchase photo prints through CVSPhoto, you might want to pay attention. The drugstore chain has taken down CVSPhoto.com while it investigates a possible credit card data breach.

“We have been made aware that customer credit card information collected by the independent vendor who manages and hosts CVSPhoto.com may have been compromised,” reads a statement on the website. “As a precaution, as our investigation is underway we are temporarily shutting down access to online and related mobile photo services. We apologize for the inconvenience.”

The company is asking that anyone who used their card to buy anything on CVSPhoto.com take a look at their card statements and activity to make sure there aren’t any suspicious transactions. If so, they should contact the appropriate bank/card company immediately to report it.

The credentials for the CVS Photo site are kept separate from the other CVS online properties like CVS.com, optical.cvs.com, and cvs.com/MinuteClinic. The company says there is no evidence of a breach on these sites.

Consumers with questions can call the company at 1-800-SHOP-CVS.
