P.F. Chang’s Breach Likely Began in Sept. 2013
Summary: New information indicates the credit card breach at P.F. Chang's began on or around Sept. 18, 2013, and did not end until June 11, 2014, one day after KrebsOnSecurity.com reported the break-in. A June 17 Visa CAMS alert to one bank listed many hundreds of exposed cards dating to Sept. 18, 2013, and every card that bank bought from an underground store selling P.F. Chang's cards appeared on that alert.
What you should know: By the article's estimate, a nine-month breach across all 211 U.S. locations could have exposed more than 7 million cards, and the company had already switched to manual carbon-copy imprinters at all locations.
