BankInfoSecurity has a recent article on another data breach, this one at none other than KFC. More generally though it also discusses how loyalty programs are one of the new targets for data theft.
In the latest sign that when it comes to data, absolutely nothing is sacred, hackers have set their sights on fans of Kentucky Fried Chicken.
KFC, a Yum Brands chain, is warning 1.2 million members of its loyalty program in the U.K. and Ireland that their login credentials may have been compromised by attackers attempting to guess usernames and passwords. It's sent an email to all program members urging them to change their passwords.
"We take the online security of our fans very seriously, so we've advised all Colonel's Club members to change their passwords as a precaution, despite only a small number of accounts being directly affected," Brad Scheiner, Head of IT at KFC UK & Ireland, tells Information Security Media Group. "We don't store credit card details as part of our Colonel's Club rewards scheme, so no financial data was compromised."

Popeyes wins for chicken. KFC's chicken always feels under cooked and stringy. Though, Popeye's has the worst sides. Seriously, everything they offer as a side is awful. Not that KFC is any better. Slaw from popeyes is jiz and used napkins. Mac n' cheese from Popeye's is undercooked tasteless mush. Mashed potatoes might as well be sawdust. Green beans are bland disgusting mush. And their rice sides are a dry choking hazard. Biscuits are okay though I prefer KFC's.
Haven't ate at either in a while.
