Chick-fil-A was hit by a data breach last month with customers’ email addresses, mobile pay numbers and partial credit card details among the information potentially exposed, according to a report and details on state government websites.

The fast food chain reported the data breach in letters sent to affected customers and multiple state Attorney General offices notifying them of suspicious activity, according to technology publication Bleeping Computer, which first reported the news.
