    Chick-Fil-A is spending the beginning of 2015 not just serving chicken to hungry partygoers on their way home, but also dealing with a possible credit/debit card breach. The fast food chain has just issued an official statement admitting that it has "recently received reports of potential unusual activity involving payment cards used at a few of [its] restaurants." It says the company has been notified on December 19th of suspicious payment activities on cards used in some of their outlets, so it has begun investigating what happened with help from authorities and IT firms. This aligns with what security journalist Brian Krebs wrote in mid-December: according to the piece, the company has been receiving rather inconsistent reports of suspicious activities from banks since November.
