Zippy’s Hilo Restaurant Identified in Security Incident

On Friday, March 9, 2018, Zippy’s Restaurants, including the Hilo location, learned of a security incident involving its credit and debit card processing system. Zippy’s immediately began an investigation and engaged independent computer forensic experts to assist.

On Wednesday, April 4, 2018, the independent computer forensic experts informed Zippy’s that credit and debit cards used at Zippy’s Restaurant, Napoleon’s Bakery, Kahala Sushi and Pearl City Sushi between Nov. 23, 2017, and March 29, 2018, may have been compromised as a result of the data security incident.

• Zippy’s Restaurants Hilo is located at 111 E Puainako St., Space 958. A full list of the affected locations is available below.

Additionally, a small number of credit and debit cards used to purchase drinks at events held at the Pomaika‘i Ballrooms in the same time frame also may have been affected.

Information impacted by this incident may include the cardholder’s name, the card number, expiration date and security code. Credit and debit cards used at A Catered Experience and Food Solutions International were not impacted. Orders placed on Zippys’ website, payments for senior cards submitted to Zippy’s corporate office, fundraisers and catering orders were also not impacted by this event.

Zippy’s has taken steps to prevent this type of event from occurring in the future. Such steps include upgrading system hardware, changing the way certain software and system processes work, and further enhancing system security and monitoring.
