Malware attack stole payment customer card data

Synopsis

In January 2020, the national restaurant chain alerted customers to a data breach that could have exposed their credit-card information. The company explained that they had implemented advanced security on their main point-of sale system, featuring end-to-end encryption, and therefore this had not been vulnerable in this attack. However, staff were found to have swiped cards on secondary vulnerable devices from January to October 2019 so these customers may have had their information exposed.
