Panda Restaurant Group, the parent company of Panda Express, Panda Inn, and Hibachi-San, disclosed a data breach after attackers compromised its corporate systems in March and stole the personal information of an undisclosed number of individuals.

The company discovered a data security breach on March 10, 2024, which affected some of its corporate systems but left in-store systems, operations, and guest experience unaffected.

As soon as it detected the incident, Panda secured its environment, activated remediation and recovery efforts, and initiated a thorough investigation in collaboration with third-party cybersecurity experts and law enforcement agencies to establish the nature and extent of the breach.

"After a thorough investigation, we determined that certain information maintained on our corporate systems was accessed by the unauthorized actor between March 7-11, 2024," Panda said in notification letters sent to affected individuals.

"With the support of third-party experts, we then began a thorough review of the data affected to identify the specific information and individuals impacted. On April 15, we concluded our review of impacted data and determined that your personal information was involved."
