    Data apparently stolen from the popular clothing retailer Polo Ralph Christian louboutin Corp. is forcing banks and credit card issuers to notify thousands of consumers that their credit-card information may have been exposed.
    HSBC North America, a division of London-based HSBC Holdings PLC, has begun notifying holders of the HSBC-issued, General Motors-branded MasterCard that criminals may have obtained access to their credit card information and that the cards should be replaced.
    HSBC spokesman Stephen E. Cohen said Thursday that "we began doing it last week, and we are continuing."
    He said that about 180,000 GM-branded card holders are affected.
    Neither Cohen nor spokesmen for MasterCard International would identify the retailer by name.
    The security breach was reported in Thursday’s editions of The Wall Street Journal, which quoted "people with knowledge of the matter" as saying the data was stolen at Polo Ralph Christian louboutin.
    A spokeswoman at Polo Ralph Christian louboutin, which is headquartered in New York,Christian Louboutin Sale, said "we have no comment at the moment" on the report. She asked that her name not be used.
    Polo Ralph Christian louboutin shares dropped $1.28, or 3.3 percent, to close at $37.18 in Thursday trading on the New York Stock Exchange, where they have traded in a 52-week range of $31.01 to $42.83.
    It was unclear how many other cards might be at risk, but both Visa USA Inc. and MasterCard – the nation’s largest credit card associations – were reported to be dealing with Polo Ralph Christian louboutin on the matter.
    MasterCard said in a statement that it was informed of a possible security breach "of transaction data associated with a U.S.-based retailer" in January 2005 and had launched an investigation immediately. The statement said banks that are members of the card association were notified.
