In January 2018 DUNKIN DONUTS was the victim of a credential stuffing attack. DD reported that hackers leveraged user credentials, that were leaked at other sites, to enter DD Perks reward account information. The good news is that the hackers were only after DD Perk Reward Card info, and not trying to steal customers personal information aka credit card credentials.

FBI offers warning to all Medium and Small businesses that use credit card payments online.
The FBI say the cause is called "E-Skimming". E-Skimming is when a hacker inserts a spyware program into a website's Point Of Sale System. They were using the spyware to scan credit card credentials. FBI say that majority of the time, the spyware is given access to a system by using PHISHING ATTACKS via emails.
Moral of the Story.... dont open email thats not from someone you know LOL.

Toyota, Lexus Dealership In Japan Hacked

A Toyota and Lexus dealership in Japan was hacked about 6 months ago. Officials will not provide extended information about the breach, but did come out and say that the hackers got unauthorized access to a server. My guess is that a back-end server security protocols were not up to date, or poorly secured. About 3.1 million individuals had information hacked, but Japan officials stated that credit card credentials were not included in the information that was hacked.
