Pizza Hut\u2019s Australian operations have been hit by a cyber-attack, the company says, with customer data including delivery addresses and order details stolen in the hack.<\/p>\n

In an email to customers on Wednesday, Pizza Hut Australia\u2019s chief executive, Phil Reed, said the company became aware in early September that there had been \u201cunauthorised third party\u201d access to some of the company\u2019s data.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe secured our systems, engaged forensic and cybersecurity specialists and initiated an ongoing investigation to help us understand what occurred, and identify the data that was impacted,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Reed said the data obtained includes customer details and online order details from Pizza Hut\u2019s customer database, including names, delivery address and instructions, email addresses and contact numbers.<\/p>\n

For registered accounts, it would also include encrypted credit card numbers and encrypted passwords.<\/p>\n

He said operations had not been affected by the hack, and that the breach had been reported to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.<\/p>\n

In a statement, a spokesperson for Pizza Hut Australia said the company believes about 193,000 customers have been affected by the breach.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have contacted these customers to advise them of the incident and the steps they can take to protect their information and avoid potential scams,\u201d a spokesperson said.<\/p>\n
