Aultman Hospital recently learned that an unidentified third party 
gained unauthorized access to credit card and debit card information 
relating to some purchases at the hospital's gift shop between February 
and September 2012.

Aultman notified the appropriate law enforcement authorities, including 
the Secret Service and the Canton Police Department.

the relevant credit card holders will be notified, if appropriate.
