Checkers Drive-In Restaurants, Inc. revealed that a data breach possibly affected customers at more than 100 of its Checkers and Rally’s locations.
Adam Noyes, chief administrative officer and executive vice president at Checkers Drive-In Restaurants, Inc., wrote in a statement that the double drive-thru restaurant chain recently learned of a malware infection involving some of its locations. The company responded by retaining data security experts to investigate what happened. Their efforts revealed that bad actors had planted malware on some point-of-sale (POS) systems at 102 Checkers and Rally’s locations. Those individuals subsequently might have then used the malware to steal some customers’ payment card information including their cardholder name, card verification code and expiration date.
