Amazon’s Whole Foods chain has not been open very long, but it is already getting hit by hackers.  It is impressive, however, as to how much was damaged.  The actual food chain was not compromised, just taprooms and service-table restaurants located within this chain.  Also, it was not all of the taprooms and service-table restaurants, just certain locations.  Amazon Whole Foods found the hack fairly quickly and notified authorities as soon as they found out.  The main Amazon network was not hit.  This shows great division of the networks and digital security.  The actual, physical Point-of-Sale (POS) devices were affected by the hack.  For more information check out this article:  https://thehackernews.com/2017/09/amazon-whole-foods.html
