Americans may soon need to change their eating habits or how they pay for meals following another restaurant chain breach, this time Pizza Hut, which took two weeks to alert customers.
The Plano, Texas-based chain sent out notice last weekend to about 60,000 customers they advised should start canceling their credit cards due to a security intrusion, which lasted for about 28 hours, from the a.m. of October 1 to midday on October 2. Data stolen included names, delivery addresses, email addresses, and payment card information including the number, expiration date, and the CVV number.
In its statement to consumers, Pizza Hut said: "Pizza Hut U.S. experienced a brief third-party security intrusion on our website and mobile app that compromised the information of a limited number of customers. Pizza Hut quickly detected the intrusion and immediately took steps to halt it and remediate the security issue. We estimate that less than one percent of the week's traffic was affected. We take the information security of our customers very seriously and invest in resources to protect the customer information in our care. We value the trust our customers place in us, regret that this happened, and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused."
