Even more fast-food patrons may have a beef with The Wendy’s Company, after the restaurant chain announced yesterday that the total number of restaurants affected by a point-of-sale data breach discovered last February may be “considerably higher” than originally thought.
Wendy’s had previously reported in May that the malware found on certain franchised locations’ POS systems affected fewer than 300 North American locations, with another 50 locations also suspected of experiencing unspecified cyber-security issues.
