Somewhat Freaky Fast Notification.
Champaign Illinois based Jimmy John’s Gourmet Sandwiches Shops have
announced on Wednesday they were the latest business to suffer a credit
card breach. Joining the ranks of Target, Neiman Marcus, Michaels, and
Home Depot.
Here’s the company statement:
On July 30, 2014, Jimmy John’s learned of a possible security incident
involving credit and debit card data at some of Jimmy John’s stores and
franchised locations. Jimmy John’s immediately hired third party forensic
experts to assist with its investigation. 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.
Approximately 216 stores appear to have been affected by this event. Cards
impacted by this event appear to be those swiped at the stores, and did
not include those cards entered manually or online. The credit and debit
card information at issue may include the card number and in some cases
the cardholder’s name, verification code, and/or the card’s expiration
date. Information entered online, such as customer address, e-mail, and
password, remains secure. The locations and dates of exposure for each
affected Jimmy John’s location are listed on AFFECTED STORES & DATES.
