Panera, also known as St. Louis Bread Company, reportedly leaked millions of customers records online according to a security company. The leaked data included names, birthdays, emails, physical addresses and the last four digits of credit card numbers of customers who ordered food for delivery online, according to the blog.

Panera Bread was sold to Europe's JAB Holdings in April 2017 for $7.5 billion.

Brian Krebs, an independent investigative journalist who authors the "Krebs on Security" cybersecurity blog, reported that Panera was first alerted to the breach in August, eight months before it became public knowledge.

But Krebs writes the company has only "fixed" the vulnerability "by requiring people to log in to a valid user account at panerabread.com in order to view the exposed customer records".

According to Houlihan, the researcher checked for a resolution to the problem every month or so, but "the flaw never disappeared".

"Panera takes data security very seriously and this issue is resolved", said John Meister, Panera's chief information officer, in an emailed statement.

'Following reports today of a potential problem on our website, we suspended the functionality to fix the issue'. Panera confirmed customer data was exposed and said the problem affected fewer than 10,000 Panera customers.

The website was taken offline briefly on Monday and access to the customer data at the heart of the leak appears to have been locked down.

Panera also said the company's investigation indicated that fewer than 10,000 consumers had been potentially affected.
