The post on its data leak site states, 'The biggest sandwich chain is pretending that nothing happened. We exfiltrated their SUBS internal system which includes hundreds of gigabytes of data and all financial expects of the franchise, including employee salaries, franchise royalty payments, master franchise commission payments, restaurant turnovers etc. We are giving some time for them to come and protect this data, if no we are open to sell to competitors.'
