NPR's Marketplace did an interview with Domino's CEO a few years back and surprisingly, one of the things he said was top on his list was digital security. Smart man. Also, a company that is detecting breaching of this kind has its eyes open. Not only aren't they breached, but they are out there explaining how it happened to a tiny portion of their customer base and warning others who are using poor password management practices. A hat tip to you Dominos Pizza. Here's the interview: https://www.marketplace.org/2015/09/24/business/corner-office-marketplace/dominos-patrick-doyle-making-perfect-pepperoni https://www.marketplace.org/2015/09/24/business/corner-offic...

There are a variety of projects that students from my university as well as other companies especially on Michigan collaborate with Domino's on. One of my favorites is the new Domino's specialized delivery car [1], and a pizza pick-up cart with accompanying mobile apps that will hopefully make it to production sometime in the future.

If what they say in the memo is true, and by the domain name (an email marketing service, and not their official site?), it seems like an individual email, and not a general public message. Maybe they're just running customer's emails through a service like haveibeenpwned, and emailing the ones that return results. Apparently several major UK services have had account leaks recently, and I bet Domino's is an easy target for fraud. I don't know anything about the company/CEO's policy, but I worked as a driver for them beginning around ~2011, and I'd have to say, they really had their s--t together on the tech front. For example, the "Pizza Tracker" is entirely real and accurate (which always amazes my friends), it's actually just a side effect of the system they have to track inventory and paying employees (an employee has to enter their ID at each station and select and order. So maybe Henry isn't actually the person doing the "quality check", but he's the person who punched in his ID and approved it). I worked at a few less experienced delivery places afterwards and the experience was just awful comparatively.
