An Open Letter from Wawa CEO Chris Gheysens to Our Customers

Posted on December 19, 2019 by Dissent

NOTICE OF DATA BREACH

Dear Wawa Customers,

At Wawa, the people who come through our doors every day are not just customers, you are our friends and neighbors, and nothing is more important than honoring and protecting your trust.  Today, I am very sorry to share with you that Wawa has experienced a data security incident.  Our information security team discovered malware on Wawa payment processing servers on December 10, 2019, and contained it by December 12, 2019.  This malware affected customer payment card information used at potentially all Wawa locations beginning at different points in time after March 4, 2019 and until it was contained.  At this time, we believe this malware no longer poses a risk to Wawa customers using payment cards at Wawa, and this malware never posed a risk to our ATM cash machines.

I want to reassure you that you will not be responsible for any fraudulent charges on your payment cards related to this incident, as described in the detailed information below.  Please review this entire letter carefully to learn about the resources Wawa is providing and the steps you should take now to protect your information.

Read the full notice on their website.
