Despite the vast amount of resources companies typically spend on thwarting hacking, it seems that we can’t even go a few weeks without a new company issuing a statement about some sort of security breach. The latest victim in this regard appears to be Dunkin’ Donuts, with the nationwide chain issuing a statement earlier today about a security breach involving its DD Perks program.
According to the statement, an unauthorized third-party in late October accessed information pertaining to the company’s DD Perks program. The working theory at the moment is that the hacker or hackers involved obtained usernames and passwords from a previous and unrelated security breach and subsequently tried to use said usernames and passwords to access any number of online accounts.
