Banks: Credit Card Breach at P.F. Chang’s

Summary: P.F. Chang's said on June 10, 2014 that it was investigating claims of a card breach after banks told KrebsOnSecurity that cards used at its restaurants between early March 2014 and May 19, 2014 appeared for sale on the Rescator card shop. The batch, dubbed "Ronald Reagan," was the first major release on that shop since March 2014, when roughly 282,000 cards from Sally Beauty were advertised, and the cards were priced from $18 to $140 each.

Why it matters: Banks traced the stolen cards to P.F. Chang's locations in Florida, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Nevada and North Carolina, and the shop advertised them as "100 percent valid" - meaning the breach was recent enough that issuing banks had not yet canceled the cards.
