NOTICE OF DATA BREACH

 
January 11, 2018
 
What Happened?
 
On December 22, 2017, Jason’s Deli was notified by payment processors that credit card security personnel had informed it that a large quantity of payment card information had appeared for sale on the “dark web,” and that an analysis of the data indicated that at least a portion of the data may have come from various Jason’s Deli locations. Jason’s Deli’s management immediately activated our response plan, including engagement of a leading threat response team, involvement of other forensic experts, and cooperation with law enforcement. We released a preliminary public statement on December 28, 2017 describing the situation and our initial response.
 
From our initial investigation findings, criminals deployed RAM-scraping malware on a number of our point-of-sales (POS) terminals at various corporate-owned Jason’s Deli restaurants (see below for a list) starting on June 8, 2017. During the course of the investigation, our response team contained the security breach and has also disabled the malware in all of the locations where it was discovered.
