Marriott Hotels has leaked data to attackers again and this time the culprits made off with 20GB of information, which reportedly included credit card info and internal company documents. The unnamed group behind the attack contacted privacy news site DataBreaches to share the news that it broke into a server at the Marriott hotel at Boston/Washington International Airport in Maryland late last month.
Britain's data privacy watchdog on Friday said it has fined US hotels group Marriott over a data breach affecting millions of customers worldwide. The UK Information Commissioner's Office said in a statement it fined Marriott £18.4 million for breaches of data that included personal information such as passport numbers since March 2018.
Your name, address, phone number, email address, passport number, date of birth, and sex are worth just £0.05 in the eyes of the UK Information Commissioner's Office, which has fined Marriott £18.4m after 339 million people's data was stolen from the hotel chain. Within the exposed data were 5.25 million guests' passport numbers, stored without encryption, as well as 18.5 million encrypted passport numbers and 9.1 million encrypted credit card numbers.
British Airways expects the fine for its 2018 credit card data leak to be just 10.8 per cent of the £183m proposed by the UK data watchdog - while US hotel chain Marriott has both halved and kicked its own data blunder punishment into the long grass once again, The Register can reveal. Marriott has secured an extension for fine negotiations to 30 September, having secured two already; one from January to 31 March and a second that ran through May. On top of that, the company set aside $65m to cover its proposed fine, down from the Information Commissioner's original intention to impose a £99m penalty.
Marriott International has experienced their second data breach
