Bellevue, Wash.-based Eddie Bauer said POS malware found at about 350 U.S. and Canadian store registers might have captured payment information used during store transactions between Jan. 2 and July 17.

"While not all transactions during this period were affected, out of an abundance of caution, Eddie Bauer is offering identity protection services to all customers who made purchases or returns during this period," the company said in a statement.

Customers are encouraged to go to the Eddie Bauer website for more information. The company declined to provide the possible number of customers affected. The company emphasized that this breach did not affect purchases made on the company's online store eddiebauer.com.
