Carnival Corp. said Thursday that a data breach in March might have exposed personal information about customers and employees on Carnival Cruise Line, Holland America Line and Princess Cruises.
The breach comes after Carnival was hit twice last year by ransomware attacks.
Carnival spokesman Roger Frizzell said the company detected the latest intrusion to some of its information-technology systems on March 19 and shut down access and hired a cybersecurity company to investigate.
Frizzell said the company has notified the affected people and set up a call center to answer their questions.
The attackers encrypted part of one cruise line's IT systems and gained access to personal information about customers and employees.
Carnival said there was no indication that personal information exposed in those attacks was misused.
