Students who purchased food from Jimmy John's in East Lansing between June and August should be on the alert for becoming victims of credit and debit card fraud, as the franchise announced today it became aware of "a possible security incident," at some of its stores, including two in East Lansing.

The first, located at 4790 S. Hagadorn, is thought to have been breached between June 16 and August 2 of this year according to the official Jimmy John's website. The second, at 143 N. Harrison, might have been compromised between June 16 and July 30.

According to a statement from the sandwich company, 216 stores appear to have been affected.
