Hyatt Card Breach Hit 250 Hotels in 50 Nations
Summary: Hyatt Hotels Corp. disclosed that card-stealing malware in its payment systems likely affected guests at 250 hotels in roughly 50 countries who stayed, ate or played at a Hyatt between Aug. 13 and Dec. 8, 2015. Most compromised systems were at restaurants inside the hotels, with a small percentage of at-risk cards used at spas, golf shops, parking and a limited number of front desks.
What's compelling: Hyatt joins Hilton, Starwood, Mandarin Oriental, White Lodging and the Trump Collection in a year of hotel-chain breaches, and the malware sat in payment systems for nearly four months before the December disclosure.
