More information on Jimmy Johns Breach

https://krebsonsecurity.com/2014/09/signature-systems-breach-expands/

Looks as if the breach is with the POS vendor and not necessarily Jimmy Johns.

“We have determined that an unauthorized person gained access to a user name and password that Signature Systems used to remotely access POS systems,” the company wrote. “The unauthorized person used that access to install malware designed to capture payment card data from cards that were swiped through terminals in certain restaurants. The malware was capable of capturing the cardholder’s name, card number, expiration date, and verification code from the magnetic stripe of the card.”

Meanwhile, there are questions about whether Signature’s core product — PDQ POS — met even the most basic security requirements set forth by the PCI Security Standards Council for point-of-sale payment systems. According to the council’s records, PDQ POS was not approved for new installations after Oct. 28, 2013. As a result, any Jimmy John’s stores and other affected restaurants that installed PDQ’s product after the Oct. 28, 2013 sunset date could be facing fines and other penalties from the PCI Council.

....., but still a breach and a loss of people's personal information. Article states that the possibly person responsible has already been apprehended,  but no indication of where the attack originated from, or if the attacker was local or foreign. This article really is more of a press release than anything else.
