In the latest data breach involving consumer data, Whole Foods Market said card-payment information of customers who drank and dined in its taprooms and full-service restaurants has been hacked.
The grocery-store chain, now part of Amazon.com Inc., said its restaurants and taprooms use a separate checkout system and information of its grocery shoppers weren’t affected. Amazon transactions were also not accessed in the breach, Whole Foods said in a statement on its website.
The company said it has hired a cybersecurity firm to help it investigate the hack and contacted law enforcement.
