Breach at Dickey’s BBQ Smokes 3M Cards
Summary: A batch of more than three million stolen card records, advertised on the carding site Joker's Stash as "BlazingSun" with valid rates of 90-100 percent, was traced to a breach at more than 100 Dickey's Barbeque locations. Q6 Cyber placed the exposure window from May 2019 through September 2020, while Gemini Advisory said some 156 locations across 30 states likely had payment systems compromised by card-stealing malware, with the highest exposure in California and Arizona.
Key Takeaway: Gemini noted that because Dickey's runs a franchise model, the exposure may trace to a single central processor used by over a quarter of its locations - and Q6Cyber's Eli Dominitz said the financial institutions it works with have already seen a significant amount of fraud tied to these cards.
