Chipotle Breach: See List Of All 8 Hudson Valley Locations Affected

Chipotle has identified malware that it says was used to steal customer payment data over a span of just more than three weeks, and eight Hudson Valley locations were among those affected by the breach.

In a news release Friday, the company said customer information was compromised between March 24 and April 18. The malware searched for track data, which at times has cardholder name in addition to card number, expiration date and internal verification code. Chipotle said the malware searched for the information from the magnetic stripe of the payment card.

Chipotle said that the malware has since been removed and no other customer information was stolen. The company provided a list of locations that were affected by the breach on its website, though it is unclear how many customers were affected by the breach.

A spokesman for the company told Reuters that the breach hit roughly 2,250 restaurants.

The news of the breach comes more than a year after an E.coli outbreak, which diminished customer trust in the popular restaurant. Chipotle disclosed the breach at an investor meeting in April.

The Hudson Valley locations affected by the breach are listed below:

• Central Valley: 498 Red Apple Court, FC-12, affected between March 27 and April 18
• Dobbs Ferry: 12 Lawrence Street, affected between March 27 and April 13

• Middletown: 444 Route 211 East, Suite 2, affected between March 27 and April 18
• Rye Brook: 100 South Ridge St., affected between March 27 and April 18
• West Nyack: 1000 Palisades Center Drive, affected between March 27 and April 18
• White Plains: 250 Main Street, Suite 101, affected between March 27 and April 18
