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.
"Dunkin' failed to protect the security of its customers," said Attorney General Letitia James. "And instead of notifying the tens of thousands impacted by these cybersecurity breaches, Dunkin' sat idly by, putting customers at risk. My office is committed to protecting consumer data and holding businesses accountable for implementing safe security practices."
