Banks: Card Breach at Trump Hotel Properties
Summary: Sources at several U.S. banks traced fraudulent debit and credit card charges to accounts used at Trump Hotel properties in Chicago, Honolulu, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, and New York, with the activity appearing to extend back to at least February 2015. The Trump Organization acknowledged being alerted to "potential suspicious credit card activity" and said it was investigating, while the company declined multiple earlier requests for comment.
Bottom line: The breach lands in a run of hotel card compromises - Mandarin Oriental in March and White Lodging for the second time in 12 months - as fraudsters work magnetic-stripe data before the October 2015 deadline shifts counterfeit-card liability to merchants without chip readers.
