FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS AND STAFF REPORTS
Marion's Dairy Queen was not among the chain's stores that had its payment systems breached by hackers
who may have gained access to customer names, credit and debit card
numbers and expiration dates.
According to The Associated Press, the ice cream and fast food chain
says 395 of its stores around the country were affected. Calvert City was the nearest store affected, though numerous restaurants in Kentucky were listed as having been breached.
The data breach
happened between August and September.
Dairy Queen says it worked
with law enforcement authorities and credit card companies to
investigate the breach. It says there's no evidence Social Security
numbers, personal identification numbers or email addresses were
accessed. The Edina, Minn.-based company is offering customers free
identity repair services.
A number of retailers, including Home Depot, Target and Michael's have been the target of cyberattacks in the past year.
