Dunkin Donuts has started notifying DD Perks customers that they might be the victim of a data breach. In a statement the company said “Although Dunkin’ did not experience a data security breach involving its internal systems, we’ve been informed that third-parties obtained usernames and passwords through other companies’ security breaches and used this information to log into some Dunkin’ DD Perks accounts,” Information that could have been accessible includes:
- First & last names
- Username
- DD Perks account number
- DD Perks QR Code
Dunkin Donuts was notified of the potential breach on October 31st, 2018. I feel like I’m having to say this way too often, but until the penalties for these types of breaches are increased they will continue to occur at an alarmingly rate.
Hat tip to DDG
