Panera Bread likely paid a ransom in March ransomware attack

Panera Bread, an American chain of fast food restaurants, most likely paid a ransom after being hit by a ransomware attack, suggests language used an internal email sent to employees.

Last week, Panera began sending data breach notifications to employees, warning that threat actors stole personal information in a March cyberattack that included names and social security numbers.

While Panera has not publicly disclosed details about their attack, BleepingComputer first reported that Panera Bread suffered a ransomware attack that encrypted all of its virtual machines.

The attack led to a week-long, company-wide disruption that affected their website, phone systems, mobile app, point-of-sale, and internal systems.

BleepingComputer later learned that one of their storage servers was not encrypted in the attack, allowing the company to rebuild and restore servers from backups.

However, no ransomware gang ever claimed the attack or leaked stolen data, indicating that a ransom was paid.

Just as the data breach notifications were being emailed on Thursday, an alleged employee claimed on Reddit that Panera paid a ransom to have the hackers delete the stolen data and avoid a public leak.

"This probably will not make it far but just got out of a corporate meeting where they broke to us that all our data has been stolen since march and they paid the hackers to "not release" its employees data," reads the Reddit thread by an alleged Panera employee.

#PaneraBread seems to be in cost-cutting mode, from our visit there today:

- No more beepers to bring your food to the table, instead you have to wait near the counter until they call your name.
- No trays to bring your own food to the table, you have to carry the plates individually.
- Fewer non-soda drinks available.
- Food was pretty bland.

Anyway, if you’re a fan of Panera, enjoy it while you can.

@dave @Hollahollara Are people seriously trying to blame #PaneraBread for them ODing on #caffeine? It’s not like they hide the caffeine content of their items, right?

Panera Bread is one of my favorite restaurants. In honor of that I’d like to thank a guy named “No Name Given”. #panerabread #mst3000

#PaneraBread #Labor #CorporateUnforcedErrors

The biggest fans of the new pecan braids at Panera are the bakers, who have commented on several Reddit threads about the labor involved in the original style.

I'm totally willing to pay more for something that takes more labor. The new pre-fab "braids" look remarkably unappetizing and I'll never know how they taste.

Most expensive: #PaneraBread!

“When it comes to dining out, customers say #ShakeShack has gotten far too pricey for what it’s dishing out. And that’s despite the fact that it’s even not the most expensive of the fast-casual and fast-food restaurant chains.”
