At least 1,025 Wendys locations were hit by a malware-driven credit card breach that began in the fall of 2015, the fast-food chain said Thursday. The announcement marks a significant expansion in a data breach that is costing banks and credit unions plenty. Wendy’s is placing blame for the breach on an unnamed third-party that serves franchised Wendy’s locations, saying a service provider that had remote access to the compromised cash registers got hacked. The company first learned about the breach in January 2016, and stores were still being milked of customer card data six months later.”]
