Caribou Coffee Data Breach Could Have Exposed Credit Cards

Over 200 locations affected

Customer data was stolen from more than 200 Caribou Coffee locations, the Minneapolis-based coffee chain said on Thursday.

In a letter to loyalty customers, Caribou Coffee said credit card data and other information was stolen from as many as 265 locations in Minnesota and other states, including Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, North Carolina and Wisconsin.

The company said it first noticed “unusual activity” on Nov. 28 and started working with the cybersecurity firm Mandiant. On Nov. 30, Mandiant determined the breach occurred through the company’s point-of-sale system.
