The data breach<\/a> involved “unauthorized parties” who could have obtained personal information including names, addresses and financial information between June 17 and June 19, according to a copy of the data breach notification letters<\/a> sent to affected customers. The incident could have affected a total of 2,182 Texans, according to the Texas attorney general’s office, which reported the breach on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“We regret that this incident occurred and apologize for any inconvenience it may cause you,” Chick-fil-A wrote in the letter to an affected customer on Monday.<\/p>\n

Chick-fil-A did not immediately return a request for comment.<\/p>\n

The letter includes instructions on how to learn about avoiding identity theft for residents in nine states and Washington, D.C.; Texas was not included in that list of states.<\/p>\n

Company officials said they first noticed “suspicious login activity” in some\u00a0Chick-fil-A One accounts and determined that the unauthorized parties targeted its website and app using account credentials from a third party. Chick-fil-A proceeded to force affected accounts to log out, removed stored payment methods and restored the balances in loyalty accounts, according to the restaurant.<\/p>\n

Company officials did not share more information about any potential theft in the letter.<\/p>\n

“As soon as Chick-fil-A discovered the incident, we immediately took action to protect customers\u2019 accounts,” the restaurant’s letter states.<\/p>\n

Company officials said they added rewards to loyalty accounts to thank customers, and they plan to continue strengthening security monitoring and fraud controls. Account holders can call 888-201-5329 for more information.<\/p>\n
