This is very limited, the theft specifically struck three states (NY, NJ, PA) and only about eleven stores. Very little information is available, though it appears to be a cash register malware attack. I'm thinking that maybe it was detected early before the fraudsters could roll out a larger scale breech. Still, I'm sure this will force a chain-wide audit, which consists of some 1,800 stores across the USA.

No mention as to how many cards were compromised or how long the breech lasted.
