(Reuters) – Hackers breached the computer networks of luxury department store chain Neiman Marcus as far back as July, an attack that was not fully contained until Sunday, the New York Times reported, citing people briefed on the investigation. Neiman Marcus said on Friday that hackers may have stolen customers credit and debit card information, the second cyber attack on a retailer in recent weeks. Neiman Marcus had said it first learned in mid-December of suspicious activity that involved credit cards used at its stores. However, in a call with credit card companies on Monday, Neiman acknowledged that the attack had only been fully contained a day earlier, and that the time stamp on the first intrusion was in mid-July, the paper said.
