Trump Hotel Collection Confirms Card Breach

Summary: The Trump Hotel Collection said a year-long breach of its credit card system may have stolen cards used at its properties between May 19, 2014, and June 2, 2015, roughly three months after KrebsOnSecurity first reported that banks suspected the hotels were compromised. The company said its forensic investigator found no evidence data was taken from hotel systems, but that malware may have accessed payment card information as it was entered, affecting properties including Trump SoHo New York, Trump National Doral, and Trump International Chicago, Las Vegas, Waikiki, Toronto, and New York.

Bottom line: The breach ran from May 2014 to June 2015, and the article places it in a run of hotel card compromises that also hit Mandarin Oriental, White Lodging, and Hilton, as fraudsters work magnetic-stripe cards ahead of the October 1, 2015 liability shift for chip readers.
