Looks like. In the case of DQ, it looks a lot like the breech of the Jimmy John sandwich chain and the car wash in the east, probably a remote access hack of franchisees who use a common point of sale system getting compromised.

I've never been to Jimmy John's, but I do to go DQ a couple of times when I'm in Phoenix. I'm safe, I always pay cash.

One thing that I like is the mention of weak and easily guessed passwords. While a password and a direct hack of your account is the least likely way that your information will be compromised because criminals are looking for mass amounts of information that they can profit from, thus going after large dumps, it's still important to use strong passwords and to not re-use passwords on important systems.
