It is estimated the breach began in October of last year. To date, investigators are still unsure how many of Citibank's approximately 5,700 branded ATMs in 7-Eleven stores were impacted.7-Eleven spokeswoman Margaret Chabris told CSNews Online: "7-Eleven Inc. is aware of the federal investigation in New York concerning ATM fraud that has apparently impacted Citi customers. It is 7-Eleven's policy not to comment on any aspects of this matter because it is an ongoing investigation."
