People who have recently eaten at the Zaxby’s on Archer Road could be at risk of identity theft.
Zaxby’s Franchising Inc. announced Friday it will implement additional security measures after it discovered a data security breach in computer systems at more than 100 locations.
In Florida, the breach affected stores in Tallahassee, Jacksonville, Orange City and Ocala. It also reached the Zaxby’s at 3710 SW Archer Road in Gainesville. An employee at the store said no customers were affected, to his knowledge.
On their systems, the affected stores identified suspicious files that could have potentially allowed unauthorized access to credit and debit card information or have been identified by credit card processing companies as common points of purchase for some fraudulent activity, according to a company news release.
Forensic investigators have not determined whether credit or debit card data left the processing systems of any of the locations, according to the release.
GPD spokesman Ben Tobias said it’s hard to tell if breaches occur more often, or they are reported more frequently.
He advised recent stores’ customers to check their financial information for any suspicious behavior.
“It’s so easy, in these days, to track your credit cards and debit cards,” he said. “It’s so easy, why not do it?”
