Quote:Nearly 140 bars, restaurants, and coffee shops all over the US have had POS systems infected with malware.
North Country Business Products (NCBP), a Minnesota-based provider of point-of-sale (POS) products, announced a security breach last week. The company said hackers compromised its IT system and later planted POS malware on the network of some of its customers.
The breach occurred on January 3, 2019, according to NCBP. The company said it detected suspicious activity on its network on the second day and started an investigation with the help of a third-party forensic investigator.
