Tex-Mex chain Chili's Grill & Bar is the latest company to report a data breach, with parent company Brinker International announcing that it has learned credit and debit card information was compromised at some locations.
Brinker says it learned of the breach on Friday, but did not say which locations were involved. The company said it believes malware was used to gather the information — payment card numbers and cardholder names — between March and April. Brinker added that it is working on figuring out the size of the breach, and noted that Chili's restaurants do not collect personal information from any customers.
