The Daixin Team ransomware gang claimed a recent cyberattack on Omni Hotels & Resorts and is now threatening to publish customers' sensitive information if a ransom is not paid.
"Since Friday, March 29, Omni Hotels & Resorts has been responding to a cyberattack on its systems. Upon learning of this issue, Omni immediately took steps to shut down its systems to protect and contain its data," the hotel chain told BleepingComputer.
While Omni had not revealed the nature of the incident, sources told BleepingComputer that the hotel chain was the victim of a ransomware attack and was manually restoring encrypted servers from backups.
Even though the Daixin Team has now added the hotel chain to their leak site, the threat actors are yet to publish proof of their claims, saying they'll "Soon" leak information allegedly stolen from Omni Hotels' compromised servers.
Omni Hotels operates 50 hotels and resorts across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, with over 23,550 rooms and 28 golf courses.
Omni Hotels confirms cyberattack behind ongoing IT outage.
