Jimmy John’s says hacker stole credit card data at 216 stores

(Bloomberg) – Jimmy John’s, a sandwich-shop chain based in Champaign, Ill., said a hacker accessed payment systems at about 216 of its locations and stole credit- and debit-card information.

The incident occurred after an intruder took log-in credentials from Jimmy John’s payment-technology vendor and then accessed its point-of-sale systems between June 16 and Sept. 5, the company said today in a statement.
