ATHENS, Ga. (AP) - A Georgia-based restaurant firm says suspicious computer files have
been found at some of its locations, prompting it to warn customers
about the potential for fraud.
Zaxby's Franchising Inc. said in a statement that
the suspicious files may have resulted in unauthorized access to credit
and debit card information at more than 100 stores.
The Athens-based firm says the affected stores are
in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi and Virginia.
Company officials say the issue involves malware
files, which could have been used to export guest names and credit and
debit card numbers. The company says it notified law enforcement of the
potential criminal activity. Zaxby's says a forensic investigation
hasn't determined whether credit or debit card data left the processing
systems of any stores.
North Alabama stores affected include the following locations:
- Florence - 366 Cox Creek Parkway
- Huntsville - 11608 S. Memorial Parkway
- Fort Payne - 1050 Glenn Boulevard SW
- Huntsville - 2720 Carl T. Jones Parkway
- Muscle Shoals - 2017 East Avalon Avenue
