Houston-based Truluck’s Seafood, Steak and Crab House is the latest restaurant chain hit by a data breach. Truluck’s confirmed malicious code could capture credit or debit card number and expiration date. Customers’ names and addresses were not exposed.

The chain revealed that malicious actors gained access to its systems via point-of-sale malware, compromising customer card information at locations in Texas including Houston, Dallas, Austin, and Southlake; as well as Naples, Fla. and Chicago during parts of November and December of 2018.
