MISSOULA, Mont.—Valley FCU here has filed a class action lawsuit against Arby’s over its recent data breach, the second credit union to do so.
The lawsuit alleges that Arby’s did not do enough to protect customers from and notify them of the breach, the Independent Record reported.
According to the credit union’s complaint, computer hackers were able to use software to break into point-of-sale systems at Arby’s locations around the country sometime around October.
The data breach allegedly included the debit and credit card numbers of customers being stolen.
Valley FCU’s lawsuit was filed in late February in U.S. District Court in Georgia where Arby’s Restaurant Group Inc. is headquartered.
As CUToday.info reported here, in February Midwest America Credit Union in Fort Wayne, Ind., filed a class action suit in federal court in Atlanta against Arby’s Restaurant Group over the data breach. The Independent Record did not state if the two suits are connected in any way.
