HARTFORD -- 22 Chipotle restaruants in Connecticut have been impacted by hackers taking information from customer's credit cards.
The hacking took place around mid-March to mid-April. It impacted about 2,000 locations around the country and 22 here in Connecticut.
Hackers used the magnetic strips to gain access to people's credit card information. Chipotle said during the investigation they removed the malware and are continuing to work with cyber security firms to find ways to enhance their security measures. They are also working with payment card networks so that the banks that issue payment cards can be made aware and monitor activity more closely.
If you believe you are the victim of identity theft or think your personal information has been misused call the Federal Trade Commission and/or the Attorney General’s office in Connecticut.
