Trump Hotels hit by third card breach in 2 years

-

Trump Internatio­nal Hotels Management LLC last week announced its third credit-card data breach in the past two years. This suggests that virtually anyone who used a credit card at a Trump property in the past two years likely has had their card data stolen and put on sale in the cybercrime undergroun­d as a result.

On May 2, 2017, the story that travel industry giant Sabre Corp. experience­d a significan­t breach of its payment and customer data tied to bookings processed through a reservatio­ns system that serves more than 32,000 hotels and other lodging establishm­ents. Last week, Trump Internatio­nal Hotels disclosed the SABRE breach impacted at least 13 Trump Hotel properties between August 2016 and March 2017. Trump Hotels said it was first notified of the breach on June 5.

According to Verizon‘s latest annual Data Breach Investigat­ions Report (DBIR), malware attacks on point-of-sale systems used at front desk and hotel restaurant systems “are absolutely rampant” in the hospitalit­y sector. Accommodat­ion was the top industry for point-ofsale intrusions in this year’s data, with 87 percent of breaches within that pattern.

Other hotel chains that disclosed this past week getting hit in the Sabre breach include 11 Hard Rock properties (another chain hit by multiple card breach incidents); Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts; and at least two dozen Loews Hotels in the United States and Canada.

The Rock is simply a gem to Rockmart citizens who like to chow down on classic foods in a comfortabl­e environmen­t. If RW decides to open up a new business, it will cer- tainly have trouble competing with the soon-tobe tourist attraction that is The Rock.

The Rock is open from 11 a. m. t o 8 p. m. on Wednesday and Thursday, 11a. m to 9 p. m. on Friday and Saturday, and 11a.m. to 8 p.m. on Sunday.
