Kimpton Hotels Probes Card Breach Claims
Summary: Kimpton Hotels, a boutique brand with 62 U.S. properties, said it is investigating reports of a credit card breach at multiple locations after KrebsOnSecurity heard from three financial-industry sources about fraud suggesting a breach at close to two-dozen Kimpton hotels. Kimpton said it launched an investigation and engaged a security firm, while the source and extent of the apparent breach remain unknown.
Why it matters: Three separate financial-industry sources flagged a fraud pattern spanning close to two-dozen properties before the company itself confirmed anything, and in many prior hotel breaches thieves had planted malware on point-of-sale devices in restaurants and bars.
