Caribou Coffee recently suffered a data breach exposing customer payment information taken from 265 US stores during a three-month period. An unauthorized party had access to point-of-sale systems between August 28-December 3, 2018, revealing customer names, payment card numbers, expiration dates, and security codes. Payments made through its rewards program were unaffected. Impacted customers are advised to monitor financial accounts for suspicious activity, notify their card issuers immediately if they notice unauthorized charges made to their accounts, and take advantage of any free credit monitoring services offered by Caribou Coffee.
