Last night, officials at Dairy Queen said that their payment systems may have been hacked, and that thieves may have gained access to customer names, credit and debit card numbers and expiration dates.

The ice cream giant said that 365 of it's stores were affected.

Dairy Queen is investigating the breach that happened between August and September with law enforcement and credit card companies.

So I have to ask this, "Does anyone use cash anymore?"

I mean, it's ice cream!  Whip out three of four dollars and pay for it.  There you go, a nice tasty treat and piece of mind! Walk way with ice cream on your shoes.

Dairy Queen went on to say that there's no evidence of Social Security numbers, personal identification numbers or email addresses were accessed.

Why would Dairy Queen even need to know this personal information?  For some contest maybe?

Anyway, take our "Poll Question Of The Day!"
