Another day, another security breach. This time it's Jimmy John's.
NBC News has confirmed the gourmet sandwich chain learned of a possible security incident on July 30, 2014 involving credit and debit card data at some Jimmy John's stores, including ones in North Texas.
It appears that customers’ credit and debit card data was compromised after an intruder stole log-in credentials from Jimmy John’s point-of-sale vendor and used these stolen credentials to remotely access the point-of-sale systems at some corporate and franchised locations between June 16, 2014 and September 5, 2014.
Approximately 216 stores have been affected by this incident. Cards impacted appear to be those swiped at the stores and do not include cards entered manually or online.
According to the Jimmy John's website, the security compromise has been contained, and customers can use their credit and debit cards securely at Jimmy John’s stores.
The credit and debit card information at issue may include the card number and in some cases the cardholder’s name, verification code, and/or the card’s expiration date. Information entered online, such as customer address, e-mail, and password, remains secure.
The locations and dates of exposure for each affected location are listed here.
