Tex-Mex restaurant chain Chili’s, part of the Brinker International EAT, -2.60%[1] restaurant group, is the latest retailer to be impacted by a data breach.
Brinker on Saturday announced that customer credit and debit card information had been “compromised” in some Chili’s restaurants. It confirmed that no social security numbers or dates of birth were compromised since it doesn’t collect this information.

Brinker shares are trading up over 16% so far in 2018.
