7-Eleven was hit with a cybersecurity attack earlier this spring that exposed some franchisee information, a company spokesperson confirmed to C-Store Dive on Tuesday.
The retailer learned on April 8 that an unauthorized third party gained access to certain 7-Eleven systems used to store franchisee documents, Jim Kastle, 7-Eleven’s chief information security officer, said in a letter sent to impacted individuals on May 1. Those documents included personal information provided to 7-Eleven during the franchise application process.
About 50 people in Massachusetts, Maine and Vermont were impacted by the incident, according to data breach filings presented to those states last week. It’s not clear if other individuals across the country were also affected.
