If you ate at Chili's in March or April, you'll want to comb through your credit card statement ASAP. Brinker International, Chili's Grill & Bar's parent company, announced a security breach to the Chili's system on May 11.
While the source of the data breach is still unknown, Brinker is working with a third-party forensic team to investigate what happened. It may have resulted in your credit card information being accessed, though, so the company is offering free credit monitoring and fraud resolution services to minimize the damage. Services include a year of credit monitoring, a $1 million insurance reimbursement policy, and identity theft recovery services (you can enroll here).
In the announcement, Brinker says they believe credit or debit card numbers and cardholder names were taken, but not home addresses or other personal information. At this time, they don't recommend cancelling your credit card unless you've noticed suspicious activity.
Furthermore, if you've received an email or call from Chili's, ignore it — Chili's may send out email correspondence as more information becomes available, but they have not done so yet.
