Kimpton Hotels Acknowledges Data Breach
Summary: Kimpton Hotels formally acknowledged that malware on payment terminals at more than 60 of its hotels and restaurants may have compromised guests' credit and debit cards used at certain front desks and restaurants between February 16 and July 7, 2016. The disclosure came more than a month after KrebsOnSecurity first contacted the company about a possible breach, and Kimpton said it does not believe the incident is related to the Oracle intrusion; the source and extent of the breach remain unknown.
What's compelling: Point-of-sale malware has driven most card breaches over the past two years, including Target and Home Depot, and Kimpton joins Trump Hotels, Hilton, Mandarin Oriental, White Lodging, Starwood and Hyatt in acknowledging card breaches after prompting by KrebsOnSecurity - with the source and extent of Kimpton's incident still unknown.
