Jason's Deli warns customers of possible data breach

[TexasTowelie]

Jason’s Deli is warning customers that their credit card information may have been stolen.

In a statement on its website, the Beaumont-based chain said it was alerted by MasterCard security on Dec. 22 “that a large quantity of payment card information had appeared for sale on the ‘dark web,’ and that an analysis of the data indicated that at least a portion of the data may have come from various Jason’s Deli locations.”

Jason’s Deli has 266 restaurants in 28 states. In Central Texas, it has four Austin locations, plus one each in New Braunfels, Round Rock, San Marcos and the Westlake area.

The company says it is working with law enforcement and data security experts to ascertain if its cash registers were indeed hacked and, if so, for how long.
