The payment card systems in up to 1,100 of the fast food restaurant chain Arby’s have been breached.
“Arby's Restaurant Group, Inc. (ARG) was recently provided with information that prompted it to launch an investigation of its payment card systems. Upon learning of the incident, ARG immediately notified law enforcement and enlisted the expertise of leading security experts, including Mandiant,” Arby's said.
Arby's withheld informing the public at the request of the FBI. However, it has reported that the breach only impacted corporate sites which number 1,100 stores.
KrebsonSecurity stated 355,000 cards were involved. "In comparison to other credit card breaches where the number of stolen cards numbered in the millions, the breach at Arby's seems to have vacuumed up a much smaller number - about 300,000 cards.”
It is not known if Arby's has notified customers but is counseling all customers to watch for fraudulent activity on their credit card statements.
