Planet Hollywood group POS breach sees 2m records on darkweb
The Cyber-Security Source
A point-of-sale data breach allegedly discovered a month ago and just now admitted, exposed two million credit cards belonging to diners of Earl Enterprises restaurants.
KrebsOnSecurity says he contacted the Italian restaurant chain that owns Buca di Beppo, Earl of Sandwich, Planet Hollywood and other restaurant brands, on 21 February, 2019, after finding evidence that the stolen payment cards were being sold on cyber-crime underground sites.
On 29 March, Earl Enterprises officially announced the breach.
"Once we learned of a potential incident, we promptly launched an internal investigation and engaged two leading cyber-security firms," the company said in the statement. "As part of the investigation, we have been in contact with federal law enforcement officials and are cooperating with them."
