Banks: Card Breach at Landry’s Restaurants

Summary: Banking industry fraud analysts told KrebsOnSecurity that Landry's Inc., which owns and operates more than 500 restaurant properties including Bubba Gump, Claim Jumper, McCormick & Schmick's and Morton's, was likely the victim of a credit card breach. Industry sources said the problem appears to have started in May 2015 and may still be affecting some Landry's locations, and Landry's has acknowledged an investigation while saying it does not yet know the extent of the breach.

What's compelling: Banking sources say they are already seeing fraudulent purchases at big box stores on cards that were all used at apparently compromised Landry's locations, and with more than 500 properties the company itself cannot yet say how many are affected.
