CHICAGO, IL --
The chain has not detailed the extent of the possible breach, or the number and locations of restaurants that are involved, but they have hired cyber security experts to investigate.
Meanwhile, a report has uncovered serious concerns about how businesses protect your data.
It seemed just about everyone received an email or letter in 2014 saying credit card information might have been exposed by a data breach.
Chicago-based information security company Trustwave, which works to help businesses protect customers' data, recently released its 2014 global security report and found that while 81 percent of businesses store customers' personal information, 63 percent of businesses don't have a "mature method" to control and track sensitive data.
"Everyone knows that data breaches are now on the map," says Trustwave's Abby Ross. "There are still serious security weaknesses businesses are facing and they are still not doing enough to remediate those weaknesses."
The study shows that one-third of businesses are not identifying where valuable data lives and moves.
"If businesses do not know where their valuable data is," Ross says, "how are they supposed to protect it?"
Many businesses also don't have enough manpower to manage important equipment.
"Our security testers have gone into environments where they see security technologies that companies pay all that money for sitting on the shelf in the package never deployed or installed," Ross says.

Cyber security report find gaps in business data security
If home automation can reduce insurance claims due to fire, water damage and theft, insurers may become advocates for Internet of Things technologies.
That could change the business model for the Internet of Things as it applies to home automation. Insurance companies may one day subsidize the cost of installing the technologies, or possibly cover the entire bill.
That's why this week's announcement by American Family Insurance and Microsoft to work together on home automation technologies may be important.
The companies announced the creation of a Microsoft Ventures Accelerator that's focused on home automation. American Family Insurance, the eighth largest homeowners' insurer in the U.S., will be offering equity investments to startups accepted into the program.
American Family's interest in funding technology development grows out of its experience from an earlier technology venture, the Teen Safe Driver Program. Launched a few years ago, the program includes installation of an accelerometer and event recorder near a vehicle's rearview mirror.
The recorder is always on and records the interior of the vehicle and what's outside. When there is an erratic movement, such as a hard brake or rapid acceleration, the recorder saves the previous 10 seconds and the next 10 seconds of the video clip. The clip is transmitted to Teen Safe program professionals, who evaluate it and make it available to parents via a Website.
The accident risk of 16- and 17-year-olds is about nine times that of parents, said Dan Reed, managing director at American Family Ventures. The information from the video is used by parents to help coach their teen driver.
The economics of the program were compelling, said Reed. It cost the insurance company several hundred dollars to outfit a vehicle with an event recorder, and it paid the cost of doing so. But for teens in the program, it has reduced the risk of a crash by 70%.
"That opened our eyes to proactive protection," said Reed.
As a result of their experience with Teen Safe, American Family began searching for other opportunities to use technology to reduce risk. The search has led to home automation, said Reed.

Abu Dhabi: An Indonesian maid charged with the murder of her employers four-month-old child will receive the death penalty, a second court of appeals has ruled.
Although the defendant, S.T., had initially been found guilty at the Criminal Court of First Instance, the death penalty verdict was looked into by the court of appeals and a lawyer was assigned for the suspect.
The decision was rendered on Wednesday.
She is accused of killing the child, Malak, out of jealousy for her Filipina nanny earlier this year. Court documents state that the cause of death was head trauma and home security cameras caught the defendant taking the child out of her crib and returning her there four minutes later. The defendant reportedly bashed the childs head against a wooden table at the victims home.
However, the court-assigned lawyer reportedly did not take his task of defending S.T. seriously and so the case was looked into again by a second court of appeals that upheld the verdict.
The victims parents insisted on carrying out the maximum punishment in the case, and declined to accept any proposals for leniency.
Malaks caretakers will be present at the execution.

A few weeks ago, we predicted Nests next product would be a smart outlet. The Google-owned smart-device maker prides itself on updating unloved home products, such as thermostats and smoke detectors. However, if ADT has any say in the matter, theyll likely want Nest to roll out some smart alarms.
The home security company is eager to partner with Nest, according to Forbes. ADT CEO Naren Gursahaney tells Forbes, Were working feverishly to develop the partnership. While ADT already has a system, Pulse, that users can control remotely, lots of competitors are trying to get into the smart home security market via Kickstarter, Indiegogo, and the like. From video doorbellsto hubsto tiny sensors, it seems like lots of products offer home protection as a bonus, instead of the main focus. And all of them come without the monthly fee of a system like ADT. If Nest does want to go the security route, it would be time-consuming and costly to set up call centers that can contact police and fire departments. It would be much easier to piggyback on ADTs already established ones.

About seven million customers pay ADTs monthly fee, which has to be attractive to Nest. After all, a recent surveyfound that many consumers had no idea products like smart thermostats and smoke alarms even exist. The exposure to that customer base could raise Nests profile. However, the company is staying mum for now. We dont have anything to share on the topic at this time, Nest spokeswoman Zoz Cuccias told Forbes.
Ironically, a partnership with Nest might raise security concerns for ADT. Wi-Fi-enabled devices could be vulnerable to hacks, which is the last thing anyone wants from an alarm system. Still, for those who want smart home devices, connected alarmsare among the most coveted items.
With Nest being cagey about the potential partnership, its not clear when, if ever, we could see it ruling the smart home security roost.

Is Nest planning to get into the home security business?
With two suspects in custody thanks to a home-security system, authorities still need the public's help to identify a third suspect in a home invasion that turned brutal a week before Christmas.
On Tuesday, the Black Hills Fugitive Task Force served arrest warrants on Robert Arpan III, 30, and Cody Hopkins, 30, both of Rapid City. The men were arrested without incident at their homes, according to Capt. Marty Graves of the Pennington County Sheriff's Office.
Rapid City Police said the home-invasion victim's home-security system captured photos of Arpan, Hopkins and a third suspect when they forced their way into a home on East Watertown Street Dec. 17.
The men severely beat the 72-year-old homeowner before taking several items from the home. The victim was taken to Rapid City Regional Hospital with serious injuries. Police on Tuesday did not provide an update on the victim's condition.
One day after police posted photos, a tip helped officers identify one of the men.
Warrants accusing Arpan and Hopkins of first-degree burglary were issued on Monday and served Tuesday, according to Rapid City Police spokesman Brendyn Medina.
Arpan and Hopkins were both being held without bond in the Pennington County Jail on three counts each of first-degree burglary. Hopkins also has two outstanding misdemeanor warrants from Meade County for failing to comply with conditions of his release on other charges.
Members of the Black Hills Fugitive Task Force who made the arrest were officers with the Pennington County Sheriff's Office and the U.S. Marshal's Service.
Anyone with information that could assist with the investigation is asked to call police Det. Steve Neavill at 394-4134 or send an anonymous tip by texting RCPD and the info to 847411.
