Avanti Market Kiosk Data Breach

A HardForum reader let me know of what looks to be a small targeted data breech after he found fraudulent activity on his credit card for a Steam purchase. Avanti kiosks are mostly used at self-serve food sellers. If you use a service like this, it is probably advisable that you give the linked page a look. It looks to have possibly impacted 1.6M Avanti kiosk users.

Thanks scojer!



On July 4, 2017, we discovered a sophisticated malware attack which affected kiosks at some Avanti Markets. Based on our investigation thus far, and although we have not yet confirmed the root cause of the intrusion, it appears the attackers utilized the malware to gain unauthorized access to customer personal information from some kiosks. Because not all of our kiosks are configured or used the same way, personal information on some kiosks may have been adversely affected, while other kiosks may not have been affected.
