Houston-based Landry's Inc. has opened up on the broad scope of point-of-service malware attacks at its restaurants and other properties dating back to 2014 and 2015.
 
The breaches exposed payment cards used at 46 of its brands, which include the restaurant chain Morton's and Golden Nugget Hotels and Casinos. More than 350 locations in 34 states, the District of Columbia and Canada were affected, according to a Jan. 29 statement. Landry's has about 500 locations under its corporate umbrella.
 
Landry's, which originally announced limited information about the security incidents on Dec. 17, did not provide an estimate of the number of cards that may have been impacted. Card issuers contacted by Information Security Media Group say they haven't yet seen significant fraud that can be linked to the breaches.
