If you bought a Peanut Buster Parfait recently, you may want to look over your credit card statement again.

Dairy Queen reported Thursday that about 400 of its restaurants have been hacked.

The chain blamed malware called Backoff for the breach, which compromised payment card numbers, customer names and expiration dates for purchases made between August and October 2014. Dairy Queen is offering a rundown of the affected locations here. They account for about 9% of Dairy Queen's 4,500 outlets.

Dairy Queen is offering "free identity repair services" for a year to any affected customer.

This latest hacking follows a slew of others in the past year which occurred at The Home Depot, Target and P.F. Chang's, among others.
