“Pizza Hut has recently identified a temporary security intrusion that occurred on our website,” as Pizza Hut wrote in the email.
“We have learned that the information of some customers who visited our website or mobile application during an approximately 28-hour period (from the morning of October 1, 2017, through midday on October 2, 2017) and subsequently placed an order may have been compromised.
Pizza Hut added, “They identified the security intrusion quickly and took immediate action to halt it”.
Also, the company said, “The security intrusion at issue impacted a small percentage of our customers and we estimate that less than one percent of the visits to our website over the course of the relevant week were affected”.
Some of the reports saying around 60,000 people across the U.S. were affected.A customer service representative confirmed to Thrillist that credit card details were likely a part of the hack, alongside personal information.
