The hack of credit-card-processing terminals at PF Chang's hit 33 of the company's locations across the U.S. and continued for around eight months, the company said Monday.
The restaurant chain operator first disclosed a possible hack of its credit- and debit-card-processing system in mid-June, but Monday was the first time it detailed which of its restaurants had been hit.
Eight locations had data stolen over an eight-month period from Oct. 19, 2013, until June 11, 2014. Data theft began at a second batch of eight restaurants on Feb. 21, and at another 15 restaurants on April 10, both ending on June 11. At two additional restaurants, theft began on Oct. 19, 2013, and ended on Oct. 26, 2013, and April 10, 2014, respectively.
The U.S. Secret Service tipped off PF Chang's to the breach, which was later termed by the company as "part of a highly sophisticated criminal operation."
