More than 350-thousand people nationwide may be affected by a data breach at Arby’s.  A spokesman says malware was used to target personal information when customers used a debit or credit card at the cash register.  The breach occurred between October 25, 2016 and January 19, 2017.  Only company-owned restaurants were affected, not its franchises.
