Some breaches are just tough to stomach, and earlier this year that was especially true at Chipotle Mexican Grill stores across the country. Drawing details from a recent story on The Verge, every state in the Chipotle Nation, it seems, was affected by a credit card POS breach that garnered the hackers sensitive account information. No word yet on whether they wanted black beans or pinto beans with that data.
Here’s the thing, though. At what point do we get serious about breaches? Chipotle does a brisk business in the casual dining space, and a successful hack could mean adult lettuce. Grande guacamole. The whole enchilada. Wait. I don’t think they serve enchiladas.
Your Money Is In their Breaches
It’s one thing to feel sorry for Chipotle. They got hacked. Their network infrastructure should now undergo a complete colonoscopy to determine if other vulnerabilities exist. And it’s almost certain that they do. It’s another thing to remember that your information was a part of that data haul that is now floating around in the ether. Everyone is vulnerable, like Dorothy and Toto vulnerable, while the Wicked Witch launches the evil monkeys and boards the broom vulnerable. And you’re going to need more than a flaming scarecrow and a bucket of water to stop that threat.
