Breach at Sabre Corp.’s Hospitality Unit

Summary: Sabre Corp. disclosed in a quarterly SEC filing that it is investigating unauthorized access to payment information in a subset of hotel reservations processed through its SynXis Central Reservations system, which its marketing literature says serves more than 32,000 properties. Sabre said it engaged Mandiant to support the investigation, notified law enforcement, and shut off the unauthorized access, adding it has no evidence of continued activity and no reason to believe other Sabre systems were affected.

What you should know: Sabre said it has no additional details on the cause or how long the access persisted, and a card involving traveler transactions for even a small percentage of the 32,000 properties on the affected system could jeopardize a significant number of customer credit cards in a short amount of time.
