No locations disclosed; involves readers on fuel pumps, at Market Grille locations
An Iowa-based grocer, with locations in Quincy and Southeast Iowa, says that some of their payment-processing systems may have been breached.
Des Moines based Hy-Vee said Wednesday that it is conducting an investigation into a security incident involving its' payment processing systems. The company says the investigation is focusing on transactions at some Hy-Vee fuel pumps, drive-thru coffee shops, and restaurants. Specifically, Hy-Vee says that their investigation is "focused on card transactions at our fuel pumps, drive-thru coffee shops, and restaurants, including our Market Grilles, Market Grille Expresses and the Wahlburgers locations that Hy-Vee owns and operates." They say that point of sale systems at their grocery stores, drugstores and inside their convenience stores aren't affected by the intrusion. The company says that because the investigation is in its earliest stages, they don't have any additional details to provide right now. They add they will have more to say, once they're able to determine what locations were affected and when.
Hy-Vee says that it's contacted cybersecurity firms and Federal law enforcement about the incidents, and they believe the activity has been stopped.
