Data breach reported at Rusty Scupper

The credit card payment system at a Baltimore seafood favorite was hit with a cyber attack late last year, its owners said Friday.
Debit and credit card information at the Rusty Scupper was compromised by malware, according to parent company Select Restaurants. Anyone who paid at the restaurant from Oct. 27, 2016–Jan. 9, 2017 potentially had their payment information compromised.
Select Restaurants began investigating in March after a third-party vendor reported unusual activity. The compromise was confirmed on April 26. The restaurant group said that the malware is now removed, and it is safe to pay for crab cakes with credit cards.
“Select Restaurants takes the security of our guests’ information seriously, and we apologize for the inconvenience this incident has caused our guests,” Select Restaurants President Alan Donatelli said in a statement. “We continue to work with third-party forensic investigators and law enforcement officials to ensure the security of our systems, and do all we can on behalf of our guests.”
The waterfront Rusty Scupper is the only restaurant in Baltimore affected, but it was one of a dozen Select restaurants in cities around the country that were hacked.
