Chipotle Mexican Grill announced Friday that it had identified and removed malware installed by hackers that lifted customer credit card data earlier this year.
Reports indicate that “most” Chipotle locations were affected by the hack, and restaurants were most vulnerable to the attack between March 24 and April 18.
Chipotle previously reported news of the hack on April 25 during a business meeting. On Friday, the restaurant said the malware had hacked point-of-sale devices at its stores, and that customers’ name, card number, expiration date, and internal verification code could have been lifted by hackers.
