Landry’s Notifies Customers of Payment Card Incident
The State of Security
Dining, hospitality and entertainment corporation Landry’s notified customers of a security incident that might have affected their payment card data.
On December 31, Landry’s revealed that it first learned of the incident after it detected unauthorized activity on the payment processing systems for its restaurant outlets as well as its food and beverage locations.
The corporation said that it had launched an investigation with the help of a leading digital security firm. This effort revealed that malware had infected its payment processing systems, it explained, but that end-to-end encryption it had implemented on its point-of-sale terminals years ago had successfully safeguarded customers’ information.
However, the investigation found evidence that the malware might have exposed the details of payment cards mistakenly swiped by waitstaff on order-entry systems near the kitchen and bar.
