    Pwned payment systems at eateries throughout the US

    US eatery chain P.F. Chang's has named 33 of its restaurants that were compromised by bank card fraudsters this year.

    The company said payment systems at its Chinese bistros in states from California to Florida were infiltrated, allowing crooks to siphon off victims' credit and debit card details.

    According to the restaurant chain, the security breach occurred between October of 2013 and June of 2014, when the slurping was discovered. In the aftermath of the scam, the company briefly took its card systems offline and used carbon paper images.

    The breached restaurants include eight locations California, three in Pennsylvania, and two in Washington.

    "We have determined that the security of our card processing systems was compromised, and we have reason to believe that the intruder may have stolen some data from certain credit and debit cards that were used during specified time frames at 33 P.F. Chang's China Bistro branded restaurant locations in the continental United States," the company said.
