Wawa wants a refund, says Mastercard owes $32 million for data breach penalties

Posted on April 21, 2022 by Dissent

Joseph N. DiStefano reports:

Wawa, the Delaware County-based convenience store and gas station chain, paid $10.7 million last year linked to a 2019 breach of its customer payment security systems.

But now it wants that money back — and more. On Monday in federal court in New York, Wawa sued Mastercard, the giant payment-card network, and demanded that it be paid triple damages, under antifraud laws.

That makes the store chain the latest retailer suing Mastercard for a refund of what Wawa calls unlawful penalties that have already been paid under what it says are unfair business practices. Mastercard didn’t respond to requests for comment.

In breach-related news, Bloomberg reports:

A class of more than 22 million Wawa Inc. customers won final approval Wednesday for their $12 million settlement over a data breach that led to the sale of their payment information on the dark web.
