The data hack that exposed the customers of more than 216 Jimmy
John's locations has also netted two Lost Pizza Company locations, both
in North Mississippi.
Credit card authorization and point-of-sale technology company Signature Systems, Inc. recently revealed
that the customer data at 216 Jimmy John’s stores and 108 other
restaurant locations including the Lost Pizza Co. locations in Tupelo
and Southaven, Mississippi, had been exposed by cyber criminals.
"We have determined that an unauthorized person gained access to a
user name and password that Signature Systems used to remotely access
POS systems," a statement on Signature Systems website said. "The
unauthorized person used that access to install malware designed to
capture payment card data from cards that were swiped through terminals
in certain restaurants. The malware was capable of capturing the
cardholder’s name, card number, expiration date and verification code
from the magnetic stripe of the card."
