8 P.F. Chang's in California Targeted in Security Breach

Thousands of customers who dined at 33 stores nationwide may have been affected.

P.F. Chang’s China Bistro on Monday released a list of 33 restaurants where stolen data from credit and debit cards used at those locations was compromised in a security breach, including eight stores in California.

The popular chain restaurant announced in June an on-going investigation found thousands of customers who dined at certain locations were at risk for having information stolen after paying with their credit or debit cards.

"The potentially stolen credit and debit card data includes the card number and in some cases also the cardholder's name and/or the card's expiration date," according to a statement released by the restaurant Monday.

The 33-location list includes addresses of the restaurants impacted and dates when the security breach may have happened.

"This was someone that was able to hack into our computer processing systems and gather that information," said Latisha Thomas-Roberts, a P.F. Chang's manager.

P.F. Chang’s China Bistro asked customers to be "vigilant" and to check their credit card and bank statements, as well as report any suspicious activity to the bank.

Seven of the eight restaurants affected in California were in Southern California:
