"Everyone will get a letter," Sharp said. "The majority already have gotten an e-mail, and those for whom we did not have an e-mail address, there are phone calls being made."
The company will pay for credit monitoring and is suggesting customers contact their credit card companies as well, Sharp said. "We have already taken the step of notifying the credit card companies involved," he said. "We are suggesting they get in touch with their credit card companies and put a fraud alert on their records and keep a close eye on their credit records."
