Chick-fil-A Cyberattack May Have Exposed Customer Data Chick-fil-A disclosed on Wednesday that a recent security incident may have compromised personal information linked to a limited number of customer loyalty accounts. The Atlanta-based fast-food chain informed FOX Business that it acted swiftly to secure affected accounts and notify potentially impacted customers. A company spokesperson stated, “We recently identified a security incident that may have affected a limited number of Chick-fil-A One Loyalty accounts. Upon discovering the issue, we took steps to immediately address, secure and restore accounts, and we are communicating directly with all customers who may have been impacted.” The spokesperson also expressed regret for any inconvenience or concern caused, reaffirming the company’s commitment to maintaining customer trust. The breach reportedly involved unauthorized parties targeting Chick-fil-A’s website and mobile app between June 17 and June 19. According to USA TODAY, the attackers used account credentials obtained from a third-party source to access the system. The incident affected customers in Iowa, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington, D.C. Chick-fil-A notified potentially impacted customers on Monday after detecting suspicious login activity involving certain Chick-fil-A One accounts. The data potentially compromised included customers’ names, email addresses, Chick-fil-A One membership details, mobile payment numbers, the last four digits of payment cards, and the amount of Chick-fil-A credit stored in their accounts. In response, the company reset passwords for affected accounts, restored any impacted loyalty balances, and added rewards to customers’ accounts.#iowa #usa_today #chickfila #fox_business #chickfila_one_loyalty
