According to the communication, suspicious login attempts were detected on specific Chick-fil-A One Loyalty accounts, triggering an internal inquiry. The investigation revealed that between July 17 and July 19, unauthorized actors utilized stolen credentials acquired from an outside source to target the company’s mobile applications and online site.
A spokesperson for Chick-fil-A said, “We recently identified a security incident that may have affected a limited number of Chick-fil-A One Loyalty accounts. Upon discovering the issue, we took steps to immediately address, secure and restore accounts, and we are communicating directly with all customers who may have been impacted.”
