News about POS malware breaches affecting two retailers hit the headlines last week, this time featuring a fast-food restaurant chain in the U.S. that operates around 3,500 locations across the country, most of which are franchised, and a popular supermarket.
Both entities, like others before them, were notified of suspicious activity by a third-party service provider who spotted the potential issues. The breaches could have originated either from internal vulnerabilities or through third-party suppliers.
