Inter Continental Confirms Breach at 12 Hotels
Summary: InterContinental Hotels Group acknowledged that malicious software installed on point-of-sale servers at restaurants and bars of 12 IHG-managed properties captured card data between August and December 2016, including cardholder name, card number, expiration date, and internal verification code. IHG said front-desk cards at those properties were not affected and that its investigation into other properties in the Americas region is ongoing.
Why it matters: The malware sat on restaurant and bar POS servers for roughly five months before being found, and IHG has confirmed only 12 properties so far while the Americas review continues - so the disclosed count is a floor, not a ceiling.
