LANHAM, Md. (WNEW) – Atlanta-based fast food chain Chick-fil-A announced Wednesday it is investigating a possible credit card breach involving several of its restaurants in Maryland and other states.

The corporation released this statement:

“Chick-fil-A recently received reports of potential unusual activity involving payment cards used at a few of our restaurants. We take our obligation to protect customer information seriously, and we are working with leading IT security firms, law enforcement and our payment industry contacts to determine all of the facts. We want to assure our customers we are working hard to investigate these events and will share additional facts as we are able to do so. If the investigation reveals that a breach has occurred, customers will not be liable for any fraudulent charges to their accounts — any fraudulent charges will be the responsibility of either Chick-fil-A or the bank that issued the card. If our customers are impacted, we will arrange for free identity protection services, including credit monitoring.”

The company has not yet released which locations are affected.

1. No worry for me

I have yet to darken the door of a Chick-fil-A. Plus I am loath to use credit cards at fast food joints. No reason but the few times I did felt bad.

3. Yes...

because all the patrons who had their CC accounts compromised are homophobic, religious right,
white male assholes who deserved it.
