Hyatt Hotels Payment-Processing Systems Hit By Malware (csoonline.com)

itwbennett writes: Hyatt Hotels said Wednesday that it recently identified malware on the computers that run its payment-processing systems. And while Hyatt didn't provide more details on the breach, including how many customers might be affected, the alert to customers asking them to closely check their credit card statements suggests that hackers may have obtained critical credit card information. The breach is the latest in a series of attacks in the hospitality industry, which include Hilton Worldwide, Mandarin Oriental and Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide.
