We really need more major data breech news: Sonic Drive-In had a major hit

[thewayne]

Sonic has 3,600 locations in 45 states, and this breech looks big, as in millions of cards. No information as to dates, just that a huge number of cards began appearing on the criminal forums where they're sold, and after some test purchases were made verifying that they had all made recent purchases at Sonic, Sonic was approached and it was confirmed that they had been breeched.

Krebs goes on to report that according to Visa, as of March of this year, 58% of Visa cards issued had chips, but only 44% of merchants had chip readers.
