Big B of A data breach?

[fredd]

I got a fico alert today that my B of A alaska air visa had been closed due to a "lost or stolen card".  (Thanks myfico!) Called B of A right away and was told the account was shut down due to a "breach".  CS rep was pretty rude and would not elaborate.  I use this card in a very limited way (and was not part of the Sony breach) so not sure what this is about.  Would like to know though whether I am at risk for identity theft now?  Of course B of A would not tell me a thing.

Did some googling and came up with this about B of A DEBIT cards:

Anyone else seeing alerts today?
