A security breach that has compromised the credit and debit cards of recent customers at the Mellow Mushroom in Warner Robins is believed to have occurred outside the restaurant, police and the restaurant’s lawyer said Friday.
“The breach happened either with the computing end of it or at the payment processing center. That’s what the (U.S.) Secret Service is going to work to figure out,” said attorney Kelly Burke, who has been hired to represent the restaurant.
Warner Robins-based Robins Federal Credit Union said Thursday it had blocked about 2,000 debit and credit cards that were used at a local merchant, though it did not name the Mellow Mushroom. By Friday, customers of at least one other bank had been notified not to use their cards.
The breach is believed to have occurred sometime since March 11, said Tabitha Pugh, public information officer with the Warner Robins Police Department.
“Anyone who used either a debit or credit card, no matter what (bank) they’re with, could have been breached if they had eaten at the Mellow Mushroom and used that card there,” Pugh said.
