Security News > 2020 > March > Marriott Hotels hacked AGAIN: Two compromised employee logins abused to siphon off guests' personal info

Marriott Hotels has suffered its second data spillage in as many years after an "Unexpected amount" of guests' data was accessed through two compromised employee logins, the under-fire chain has confirmed.

The size of the latest data exposure has not been disclosed, though Marriott admitted it seemed to have started in January 2020 and was detected "At the end of February."

A link is available from the Marriott security breach notification page.

Back in 2018 Marriott lost control of 383 million people's personal data after China-based criminals broke into its Starwood brand's guest database.

Marriott says information on "Up to approximately 5.2 million guests" may have been stolen.
