# Dunkin' Warns of Data Breach for DD Perks Members

**TL;DR:** Dunkin' announced a data breach affecting some members of its loyalty program, DD Perks, and asked users to reset their passwords. The breach is believed to have occurred due to third-parties obtaining usernames and passwords from security breaches of other companies.

## Story

Dunkin' has announced that following a data breach, some members of its loyalty program have had their login information compromised. According to a recent article in USA Today, the brand reached out users who were impacted by the breach with details and made them reset their passwords for security purposes. At this time, the hacker has not been identified.

"We believe that these third-parties obtained usernames and passwords from security breaches of other companies. These individuals then used the usernames and passwords to try to break in to various online accounts across the Internet. Our security vendor was successful in stopping most of these attempts, but it is possible that these third-parties may have succeeded in logging in to your DD Perks account if you used your DD Perks username and password for accounts unrelated to Dunkin’," the brand said in a statement.
