Security News > 2020 > January > Data Breach Affects 63 Landry’s Restaurants
Dining giant Landry's disclosed a data breach, Thursday, warning that malware had infected its order-entry systems to steal customers' payment card information.
Landry's, which owns over 600 popular American restaurants across 35 states, such as Del Frisco's Grill, McCormick & Schmick's, Rainforest Café and more, said that 63 of these restaurants were impacted by malware that targeted customers' payment card data.
The point-of-sale systems used to process payment card data at Landry's restaurants - which are typically a common target by PoS malware - had end-to-end encryption enabled.
Landry's did not say how many payment cards were accessed as part of the breach.
In December, convenience-store chain Wawa Inc. disclosed a data breach potentially affecting all of its 850 locations, stemming from malware on its in-store payment processing systems that collected customers' payment card data.
