Jimmy John’s announced that they had a data security breach on their website
“Approximately 216 stores appear to have been affected by this event,” Jimmy John’s said in the statement. “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, email, and password, remains secure.”
There are more than 1,900 franchised Jimmy John’s locations across the United States, meaning this breach impacted roughly 11 percent of all stores.
The statement from Jimmy John’s doesn’t name the point of sale vendor, but company officials confirm that the point-of-sale vendor that was compromised was indeed Signature Systems. Officials from Signature Systems could not be immediately reached for comment, and it remains unclear if other companies that use its point-of-sale solutions may have been similarly impacted.
