Chili’s Bar and Grill has suffered a data breach.
The restaurant announced Saturday that payment card information of some patrons was compromised at certain Chili’s restaurants as the result of a ‘data incident.’
It is unclear at this time which locations or which patrons were affected by the incident.
Dear Valued Guests,
This notice is to make you aware that some Chili’s restaurants have been impacted by a data incident, which may have resulted in unauthorized access or acquisition of your payment card data, and to provide you information on steps you can take to protect yourself and minimize the possibility of misuse of your information.
We sincerely apologize to those who may have been affected and assure you we are working diligently to resolve this incident.
The restaurant chain’s parent company, Brinker International, says malware was used to gather payment card information including credit or debit card numbers as well as cardholder names from in-restaurant purchases at certain Chili’s.
They added that they believe the scope of the incident was limited to March and April 2018.
Chili’s does not collect certain personal information (such as social security number, full date of birth, or federal or state identification number) from Guests. Therefore, this personal information was not compromised.
