White Lodging Confirms Second Breach
Summary: White Lodging acknowledged a suspected breach of point-of-sale systems at food and beverage outlets in 10 properties from July 3, 2014 through February 6, 2015, after KrebsOnSecurity reported in February 2015 that banks were seeing fraud on cards used at its hotels. The company said the stolen data included names printed on cards, card numbers, security codes and expiration dates, and that security measures added after a 2014 malware incident, including a third-party security firm, did not stop the new malware.
Why it matters: This was the second POS breach at the same hotel operator in about a year, and the third-party security technology and managed services brought in after the first one failed to stop it, which is the concrete stake for anyone treating a prior incident as proof that controls now work.
