25 Bay Area Chipotle locations were affected by a nationwide hack that may have allowed customer's credit card information to be stolen.

Chipotle alerted customers back in April about a nationwide data breach that may have allowed unauthorized access to customers' payment information.

Anyone who paid for their Chipotle meal with a credit card between March 24 and April 18 could be at risk due to this breach.

The investigation identified the operation of malware designed to access payment card data from cards used on point-of-sale devices at certain Chipotle restaurants. The malware searched for track data (which sometimes has cardholder name in addition to card number, expiration date, and internal verification code) read from the magnetic stripe of a credit or debit card.
