Marriott International noticed the hack back in September. They’ve since been investigating and found that there has been unauthorized access to their system since 2014. In total, Marriott believes up to 500 million guests have been affected. And more than have the guests have very compromising data that was hacked.
“For approximately 327 million of these guests, the information includes some combination of name, mailing address, phone number, email address, passport number, Starwood Preferred Guest (“SPG”) account information, date of birth, gender, arrival and departure information, reservation date, and communication preferences. For some, the information also includes payment card numbers and payment card expiration dates,”.
Marriott values our guests and understands the importance of protecting personal information. For more information on the Starwood guest reservation database security incident, please visit https://t.co/NWd6Dg2oOQ.
