The ABC have reported "Banks cancel cards over potential security 
breach", with thousands of cards cancelled:

At this stage it is not clear if this is due to a problem with EFTPos 
machines, online or both. As a result I gave a somewhat vague interview 
to Channel Ten news, which is going out at about now (5pm).
