Malware was placed on a payment system at the Arby’s corporate stores, and the Arby’s franchised restaurant locations were not affected.

Very interesting post Brent,
I really enjoy reading the articles posted by Krebsonsecurity. Towards the end of this one he highlighted some very important points; victims are not liable for the fraudulent charges on their debit/credit cards, however they must report this to the banks. I know some people that don’t check their credit/debit card statements regularly which can generate greater impact if their credit/debit cards were compromised. Another good thing to do is set spending thresholds that would alert you of any charges over a certain amount, or where the spending occurs. Like the article also stated; when confronted with the choice of using debit or credit, credit is the better option.
I am one of those people that do not check my statements regularly. I need to start doing that. One thing I do now since I have been in this program is check the ATM and gas station pumps for those devices that could access your account through your credit/debit card.
Very good article Brent. I have not been to Arby’s for a while, so I’m unsure if the restaurant franchise now enables the chip technology in debit/credit cards. If not, this might be a good time for them to start because the chip method is more secure.
