Loyalty Programs Have Become New Front Line of QSR Fraud

A credential stuffing attack on Chick-fil-A’s loyalty program exposed customer data such as names, emails, membership numbers, and partial payment details, highlighting a growing fraud risk in QSR loyalty programs. As these programs increasingly drive digital engagement and customer retention, QSRs are expanding fraud prevention beyond payment to include account login and behavior monitoring, employing stronger authentication methods like passkeys and device intelligence to detect suspicious activity early in the customer journey. Protecting loyalty programs has become critical to maintaining customer trust amid rising attacks targeting stored rewards and payment information.

One in 12 UK Diners Admit Dining and Dashing, Survey Finds

1 in 12 UK diners have admitted to ‘dining and dashing,’ with a survey finding 8% confessing to leaving a restaurant without paying. The trend, attributed to factors like booking issues and payment preferences, could cost the industry £13.6 billion. Men (9%) and those aged 35-44 are most likely to engage in this behavior. While London has the highest incidents, overall consumer preferences indicate a desire for human interaction over technology in dining experiences.
