Chipotle emitió un comunicado advirtiendo que identificaron un software malicioso que se utilizó para robar datos de pago de los clientes que consumieron en el lugar en un lapso de tres semanas. Más de cincuenta localidades en Massachusetts han sido afectadas por esta situación.
En un comunicado de prensa publicado el viernes, la compañía dijo que la información de los cliente que consumieron entre el 24 de marzo y el 18 de abril podría estar comprometida. El malware buscó información de la banda magnética de la tarjeta de pago.
La compañía informó que el malware ya se ha eliminado y no se ha robado ninguna otra información de los clientes. La compañía proporcionó una lista de los lugares que fueron afectados por el virus en su sitio web, aunque no está claro cuántos clientes se vieron realmente afectados por el alcance.
Un portavoz de la compañía dijo a Reuters que la brecha golpeó la mayoría de sus aproximadamente 2.250 restaurantes.
La noticia de la violación se produce más de un año después de un brote de E.coli que disminuyó la confianza del cliente en el popular restaurante de comida mexicana. Chipotle reveló el incumplimiento en una reunión de inversores en abril.
