Security News > 2020 > March > New Marriott Data Breach Impacts Up to 5.2 Million Guests
Marriott on Tuesday disclosed a new data breach that could impact up to 5.2 million of its guests.
Marriott says it has invalidated the compromised credentials, but the attackers may have obtained information on as many as 5.2 million individuals.
"Marriott carries insurance, including cyber insurance, commensurate with its size and the nature of its operations, and the company is working with its insurers to assess coverage. The company does not currently believe that its total costs related to this incident will be significant," Marriott stated.
In November 2018, Marriott revealed that it had been hit by a massive data breach impacting roughly 500 million people who had stayed at Starwood hotel properties.
The UK Information Commissioner's Office announced in July 2019 that Marriott should pay a $124 million fine for infringements of the General Data Protection Regulation resulting from the breach, but Marriott said it would appeal the decision.
