Russian pizza chain with 1,500 locations confirms cyberattack following hacker claims
Hackers breached the systems of popular Russian fast-food chain Dodo Pizza and gained access to some customers’ personal information, the company said Monday.
According to Dodo Pizza, the potentially compromised information included customers’ names, addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth and order details. The company said it does not store customers’ payment information and that payment data was therefore not compromised.
“The attackers’ access has been blocked, and an internal investigation is ongoing,” Dodo Pizza said, adding that it had notified Russian communications regulator Roskomnadzor about the incident.
The company operates around 1,500 pizza restaurants across 28 countries. Its Russian business reported about $120 million in revenue this month, according to figures published on the company’s website.
A hacking group calling itself DataSuckers claimed responsibility for the attack, saying on its Telegram channel that it had gained access to Dodo Pizza’s databases.
