Jimmy John's Gourmet Sandwiches POS Systems Hacked
Sandwich chain is the latest data breach victim, with credit and debit card 
data breached in 216 of its restaurants.
Count Jimmy John's as the latest data breach victim falling to a point-of-sale 
malware attack.
The sandwich chain today confirmed that 216 of its restaurants had been hit 
with an attack that began back in June, exposing its customers' credit and 
debit card information at those locations. The company said it hired 
third-party forensics experts to investigate a possible breach it first learned 
of on July 30.
According to Jimmy John's, the breach originated from stolen log-in credentials 
pilfered from its POS vendor, and encrypted POS swipe terminals have now been 
installed in stores.
The company said in a statement issued 
today<https://www.jimmyjohns.com/datasecurityincident/>:
While the investigation is ongoing, 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. The security compromise has been 
contained, and customers can use their credit and debit cards securely at Jimmy 
John’s stores.
Only payment cards that were swiped into POS terminals at those stores were 
exposed, not cards that were entered online or manually. Among the information 
exposed: card account numbers, cardholder names, verification codes, and 
expiration dates.
"Jimmy John’s has taken steps to prevent this type of event from occurring in 
the future, including installing encrypted swipe machines, implementing system 
enhancements, and reviewing its policies and procedures for its third party 
vendors," the chain said.
The company says the malware has been removed from its network. It's offering 
identity protection services to affected customers. The list of affected 
restaurant locations is
