April 26, 2017

Chipotle executives told investors during Tuesday's earnings call that it had detected unauthorized activity on network that supports payment processing for purchases made between March 24 and April 18, 2017.

The chain also issued a statement saying that it has implemented additional security enhancements as well as opened an investigation with cyber security firms, law enforcement and its payment processor. The chain believes the unauthorized activity has been stopped.

"Because our investigation is continuing, complete findings are not available and it is too early to provide further details on the investigation," according to the chain's official statement. "We anticipate providing notification to any affected customers as we get further clarity about the specific timeframes and restaurant locations that may have been affected."
