Crooks Tampered with Payments at Elephant Bar Restaurants

CM Ebar, the company that owns the dining chain, says it was informed by a debit and credit card processor in early November about illegal software found on payment systems in certain restaurants.

The potential breach affects customers who made purchases between Aug. 12 and Dec. 4 at almost 30 locations, across seven states.

The malware could have compromised the cardholder’s name, payment card account number, card expiration date, and verification code.

Elephant Bar says it has since disabled the malicious software.  

The sites affected include 20 in California, three in Colorado, two in Arizona and one each in Florida, Missouri, New Mexico and Nevada.
