Banks: Card Breach at Hilton Hotel Properties
Summary: Sources at five banks say they traced a pattern of credit card fraud to point-of-sale registers in gift shops and restaurants at Hilton and franchise properties across the United States, and Visa sent confidential alerts to financial institutions in August about a breach spanning April 21 to July 27, 2015. Hilton says it is investigating, and financial industry sources told KrebsOnSecurity the incident may date back to November 2014 and may still be ongoing.
Bottom line: The compromised systems were point-of-sale devices in franchised restaurants, coffee bars and gift shops, not the guest reservation systems - so the franchise footprint, not the corporate network, is where the card data left.
