Chick-fil-A breach overview:
- Who: Chick-fil-A announced that it is aware of “suspicious activity” on some customer accounts.
- Why: The fast food company did not release details of the fraudulent activity.
- Where: The Chick-fil-A breach is active in the United States.
Chick-fil-A has announced it is aware of “suspicious activity” on some customer accounts, with some customers falling victim to “fraudulent activity.”
In a tweet posted on the Chick-fil-A account Jan. 4, the company gave few details of the breach.
“While we are still investigating what happened and how certain customers became subject to this fraudulent activity, this is not due to a compromise of Chick-fil-A’s internal systems,” Chick-fil-A tweeted.
The company says it was working quickly to resolve the issue but gave no further details on the nature of the Chick-fil-A breach or what customer information may be compromised.
Potential Chick-fil-A hack highlights importance protecting online accounts
A support page on Chick-fil-A’s One Membership Program customer support website provides potentially affected clients with details on what to do if they notice unusual activity on their accounts, if they see any mobile orders placed without their approval or if their loyalty points were used to redeem or gift rewards fraudulently.
Customers victimized in the potential Chick-fil-A breach should immediately change their passwords to new ones that are unique, complex and not used on other online platforms or accounts.
They should also remove any stored payment methods, such as credit or debit cards, from their Chick-fil-A One accounts.
Last year, Chick-fil-A agreed to settle a lawsuit alleging Tyson Foods Inc. and its subsidiaries conspired with other food producers to fix and inflate broiler chicken prices.

Add me. I received multiple notifications that I purchased gift cards on credit card
I received texts from my credit card company about suspicious activity on my acct. Multiple Chick-fil-A gift cards were being fraudulently purchased. The same day, I got an email saying my Chick-fil-A password was changed so I was locked out of my account.
