RALEIGH, N.C. — A nationwide data breach at Chipotle restaurants that targeted credit and debit card information hit several Triangle-area locations in March and April, the company said Friday.
The company said an investigation identified malware designed to access data from cards used at the restaurants' cash registers.

The malware searched for track data, which sometimes has the cardholder's name, card number, expiration date and internal verification code. The information is read from the magnetic stripe of a payment card as it is swiped.

In a news release, the company said anyone who used their cards at a Chipotle location during the specified time should look for any charges they did not make.

"Customers that used a payment card at an affected location during its at-risk time frame should remain vigilant to the possibility of fraud by reviewing their payment card statements for any unauthorized activity," the company said. "Customers should immediately report any unauthorized charges to their card issuer because payment card rules generally provide that cardholders are not responsible for unauthorized charges reported in a timely manner."
