About 100 Frost Bank customers’ Visa debit card numbers were used on a shopping spending spree. The database of an unnamed national retailer was recently breached. The system contained information belonging to several other banks, however, Frost Bank is the first to publicly announced the breach.

In a letter to affected customers, Frost said Visa had advised bank officials that Visa, MasterCard, and other debit and credit card numbers from banks across the country could have been compromised. Officials at Bank of America, Citigroup and Wachovia said they did not have enough information to comment Thursday.
