Credit Card Breach at Mandarin Oriental
Summary: Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group confirmed to KrebsOnSecurity that its hotels were hit by a credit card breach, saying point-of-sale systems in an isolated number of hotels in the US and Europe were infected with malware that stole customer card data. Banking industry sources told the publication the breach almost certainly affected most if not all Mandarin hotels in the United States, including Boston, Florida, Las Vegas, Miami, New York and Washington, D.C., and likely dates back to just before Christmas 2014.
Why it matters: The chain would not say how many of its roughly two dozen worldwide locations were affected, and the source notes its guests are high rollers who likely carry high- or no-limit cards - the kind of stolen numbers that draw premium prices in underground card markets.
