"The company, SP+ (known as Standard Parking until 2013), said that they learned about the breach on November 3, when they received notice from a third-party vendor that provides the payment card systems at some of their parking garages. The vendor said that “an unauthorized person” had connected remotely to the payment processing systems in some of those facilities.

The breach ran for almost seven months, from April 14 through November 10 of this year. Although parking facilities in Cleveland, Philadelphia, Seattle, and Evanston were hit, most of the targets were in Chicago. SP+ said that the hack affected 17 of its 2400 parking facilities."
