The first week of 2023…“I took a break from my class at @SUNYPolyInst and ordered @ChickfilA and got their email warning so I checked my messages on my @ATT phone and found out my number might be compromised and my @ConsulateHealth provider was hacked.”a New Yorker @nytimes pic.twitter.com/ye4OWLl0TL— Dominic Alvieri (@AlvieriD) January 7, 2023
Chick-fil-A compromised? I just got this email. https://t.co/3G6W279hQ3 pic.twitter.com/IHCOBdO3oM— Jeff Geerling (@geerlingguy) January 6, 2023Customers are recommended to Immediately reset their Chick-fil-A One account password. The company also recommends using a unique, complex password that is not associated with any of the users’ other online accounts. This password should be one that is unique to your Chick-fil-A One account.
The company also recommends users of removing any stored payment methods (e.g. credit or debit cards) from their Chick-fil-A One account.
According to BleepingComputer, threat actors are selling some of the stolen accounts for $2 to $200, depending on the account balance, linked payment method, or Chick-fil-A One points (rewards points) balance.
Some customers reported on social media that their accounts have been hacked.
