The breach with the so-called Backoff malware affected 395 of more than 4,500 U.S. locations, the unit of Omaha, Nebraska-based Berkshire said today in a statement. The systems contained customer names, and the numbers and expiration dates of their payment cards. Less than 600,000 cards were affected, said Dean Peters, a spokesman for Dairy Queen.
