    The release states the fraud happened "at one of its stores". Beyond that, Costco seems to carefully refrain from naming which store that was. Only clue as to location is that the letter sent to potentially impacted customers was signed by a Vice President of Midwest Region Operations.

    "A total of four Costco warehouses in Chicago discovered card-skimming devices as they go with their routine of checking their pin pad, according to Fox Business.
    On top of that, Bleeping Computer also reported that Costco recently revealed that one of its warehouses in Canada also saw a card skimmer during its inspection."
