U.S. burger chain Wendy's Co said on Thursday that a malware it had found at some franchisees in June had enabled hackers to access payment card information from the point-of-sales systems.
The company said hackers targeted cardholder names, card numbers and the three-digit card verification value (CVV) number found on the back of cards.
Wendy's had in June said the malware, which was a variant of a malware it had found earlier, had targeted point-of-sales systems, but had not said what information had been compromised.
