Andy’s Autowash was informed on March 27, 2017 that our point-of-sale system experienced an intrusion last month. Our point-of-sale system is operated by a third-party platform provider and this provider experienced the intrusion.
To date, the investigation indicates that the intruder placed malware on the point-of-sale system, and by doing so gained access to our customers’ payment card data, including the cardholder’s first and last name, payment card number, and security code.
If you used a payment card at our location between the dates of February 06, 2017 to February 23, 2017, your payment card information may be at risks. Because we are unable to determine contact information for each customer whose information may be at risk, we are notifying our customers of this risk in this Substitute Notice.
For those customers who used a payment card at our location between the dates February 06, 2017 to February 23, 2017, the information the intruder had access to includes the cardholder’s first and last name, card number and security code.
Andy’s Autowash has worked with our third-party platform provider to remove the malware from its systems and our provider is actively monitoring the platform to safeguard personal information.
