Panera Bread Compromises Millions of Customers' Personal Information

Panera Bread leaked customer data right on its website for months despite warnings.

According to Quartz (April 3, 2018) - Security experts have alleged that US bakery-cafe chain Panera Bread had "millions" of customers’ personal information available and searchable on its site for at least eight months, leaving them vulnerable to identity theft.

A plain-text page on Panera’s website revealed the full names, email addresses, physical addresses, phone numbers, date of birth, dietary preferences, and last four digits of credit cards of customers who signed up for the company’s delivery service, the researchers said.
