-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Via The State Journal-Register Online (props, Pogo Was Right). [snip] The owner of a Springfield [Illinois] restaurant said today hackers who broke into the restaurant's computer network and compromised debit-card information were from outside the business, and that security has been upgraded. Gene Rupnik, who owns the International House of Pancakes on Dirksen Parkway, confirmed the restaurant was the source of some of the debit-card alerts that have gone out from local banks in the past week. He also said, as far as he knows, none of the customers suffered financial losses as a result of the security breach. "I am assured now we are completely and totally protected," said Rupnik, who also owns the Day's Inn and Microtel Inn & Suites in Springfield. Rupnik said, while this is the first time it has happened to one of his businesses, authorities have advised him they are looking into the possibility the problem goes beyond his restaurant, and perhaps beyond Springfield.
