Restaurant Chains Hit in PoS Attack

Customers at a series of Italian, sandwich, and film-themed restaurants have found their credit card numbers stolen after a cyberattack hit point-of-sale terminals at dozens of restaurants. Buca di Beppo, Earl of Sandwich, and Planet Hollywood restaurants, all owned by Earl Enterprises, suffered the attacks between May 23, 2018 and March 18, 2019.
