Bebe Stores Inc said it detected a hacking attack on its payment processing system that could have compromised data from cards swiped in its stores in the United States, Puerto Rico and US Virgin Islands.

"We moved quickly to block this attack and have taken steps to further enhance our security measures," chief executive Jim Wiggett said in a statement.
