Wow, this looks pretty bad.

If in doubt, put a catputer photo. Cats always look fabulous.

Update: It seems that error-cat has gone now. In resume, anybody could download a list of all people eating at this restaurants, their telephones, addresses, pastry preferences and last four numbers of their credit cards. Am I right? It seems that entering a single telephone they obtain a dozen of diferent users. Is a sort of wildcard or something?.

Wouldn't be much better to talk with Panera Bread directly?

Perhaps I'm naïve, but the fact this "breach" is being disclosed anonoymously, via a medium commonly associated with nefarious data dumps suggests to me that there really was little consideration paid to allowing Panera an opportunity to correct this situation.

Disclosing this as such was irresponsible, despite being an important discovery.

To bypass the responsible disclosure versus full disclosure debate: I provided them with well over six months of time to fix this and reported it last year. My own data is in this set.
