The IT systems of InterContinental Hotels Group, the massive hospitality organization that operates 17 hotel brands around the world, have been compromised, causing ongoing disruption to the corporation's online booking systems and other services.

"We will be supporting hotel owners and operators as part of our response to the ongoing service disruption. IHG's hotels are still able to operate and to take reservations directly."

IHG is a massive operation, running 6,028 hotels and 882,897 rooms in more than 100 countries.

This isn't the first time IHG has been hit by a cyberattack.

A network security breach in 2016 impacted the company for about three months, with IHG officials admitting in April 2017 that 1,200 hotels were affected by the intrusion.

Marriott Hotels in July said it had been hit by a third cyberattack in four years, with miscreants making off with 20GB of data, including credit card information and internal company documents.
