While you were chowing down on a burrito bowl, a hacker might have gotten hold of your credit card information.

Chipotle announced on Friday that most of its 2,249 restaurants were affected by malware between March 24 and April 18. That malware, Chipotle says, targets credit card numbers, names, expiration dates and verification codes, and collected that data each time a card was swiped — whether it be for chips, guacamole or one of those epic "quesaritos."

The Mexican grill chain has now released a list of the restaurants that were hacked, and there were many throughout metro Atlanta that were affected.

Check your credit card statements if you visited one of these Chipotle locations in March or April:

Alpharetta

Atlanta

Buford

Decatur

Duluth

East Point

Kennesaw

Lawrenceville

Marietta

Morrow

Norcross

Roswell

Sandy Springs

Snellville

Tucker
