Chick-fil-A says it first spotted suspicious login activity involving certain Chick-fil-A One accounts. The company then investigated and found an automated attack against its website and mobile app. The attack ran from June 17 through June 19, 2026. Chick-fil-A determined on July 13 that unauthorized parties may have accessed information stored inside affected accounts.<\/p>\n
The attackers used email addresses and passwords obtained from a third-party source. They then tested those login combinations against Chick-fil-A One accounts. When a customer had reused the same password, the attackers had a chance of getting inside.<\/p>\n
Chick-fil-A has not disclosed the total number of affected customers. However, public filings show that the breach affected 2,182 Texas residents and 39 Massachusetts residents. The company also submitted notices involving residents of Iowa, the District of Columbia, Maryland, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Vermont and Rhode Island.<\/p>\n
WHAT A SCAMMER SEES THE MOMENT THEY GOOGLE YOUR NAME<\/p>\n
The information available to the attackers varied by account. According to Chick-fil-A's notification, the exposed data may have included:<\/p>\n
The notification lists only the last four digits of payment cards. It does not list full card numbers, Social Security numbers or bank account details among the exposed information. Still, the other details could help criminals create convincing scams. A message that includes your name, loyalty membership information or partial card digits may feel legitimate. The QR code exposure also raises questions because customers use account QR codes to earn points and access rewards. Chick-fil-A has not publicly explained whether attackers used any exposed QR codes. We reached out to Chick-fil-A for comment, but did not hear back by our deadline.<\/p>\n
