Earlier this week, Starbucks customers reported that hundreds of dollars were stolen from their credit cards. The Starbucks mobile app lets customers pay at checkout with their phone. The app can also reload Starbucks gift cards by automatically drawing funds from bank account, credit card or Pay Pal.

Criminals are siphoning money from Starbucks customers by breaking into their Starbucks accounts online, adding a new gift card, and transferring funds over. Earlier this week, Maria Nistri, was a victim of a Starbucks app hack. Maria believes the criminals stole a total of $75, all within 7 minutes. Maria then received an automated email, saying her username and password had been changed, and if she didn’t authorize the change, she should call customer service.
