Beginning in early 2015, hackers accessed money stored on Dunkin' value cards of nearly 20,000 customers who created accounts through Dunkin's website and mobile apps. An attacker that gained access could use the card to make purchases or sell the cards online. In a matter of months, tens of thousands of dollars were stolen, the attorney general said.
