It appears that Sonic Drive-In may be another victim to a data breach. This follows the credit card breach fast food company Wendy’s experienced earlier last year. The drive-in fast food chain has nearly 3,600 locations. Be sure to check on your credit card accounts for any unusual transactions.
“Our credit card processor informed us last week of unusual activity regarding credit cards used at SONIC,” reads a statement the company issued to KrebsOnSecurity. “The security of our guests’ information is very important to SONIC. We are working to understand the nature and scope of this issue, as we know how important this is to our guests. We immediately engaged third-party forensic experts and law enforcement when we heard from our processor. While law enforcement limits the information we can share, we will communicate additional information as we are able.”
