The Chipotle restaurant located in downtown Clemson is one of many locations affected by a nationwide security breach. Chipotle says malware was found on point-of-sale devices at multiple restaurants throughout the U.S.
According to the company’s website, the Clemson location (393 College Avenue) was impacted between April 2-18.
Chipotle says the malware is capable of tracking data that could include a debit or credit cardholder’s name, card number, expiration date and internal verification code. The company says there is no indication that other customer information was affected.
Chipotle is advising customers to be vigilant for incidents of fraud or identity theft by reviewing account statements and free credit reports for any unauthorized activity. Customers who have questions about the breach can call 1-888-738-0534 Monday through Friday between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. EDT.
