Chick-fil-A confirmed a credential stuffing attack compromised over 13,000 customer accounts between June 17-19. The breach targeted the restaurant chain's website and mobile app.

The fast-food chain detected unauthorized access to customer accounts during a three-day window in mid-June. Credential stuffing attacks use previously leaked username and password combinations to gain unauthorized access to accounts across multiple platforms. Chick-fil-A notified affected customers and urged them to change passwords. The company advised users to enable two-factor authentication for added security. Credential stuffing remains a common attack vector, particularly against consumer-facing platforms. The breach highlights the importance of unique, strong passwords and multi-factor authentication. The company did not disclose whether personal information beyond login credentials was accessed during the attack. Customers experiencing suspicious account activity were directed to contact Chick-fil-A customer service.
