Hilton Hotel Chain Reports Data Breach
November 24 2015 - 8:30PM
Dow Jones News
Hilton Worldwide on Tuesday reported hackers gained access to
its payment system, the latest data breach targeting the hotel
industry.
Like Trump Hotel Collection in October, however, Hilton said it
had found no evidence that customers' information had been stolen.
Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc. disclosed a similar
breach last week.
The McLean, Va.-based Hilton chain, which disclosed the breach
in a post on its website, said hackers appeared to have gained
access to its system twice: from Nov. 18 through Dec. 5 in 2014,
and from April 21 through July 27 this year.
Criminals, the company said, targeted cardholder names, credit
and debit card numbers along with the cards' security codes and
expiration dates.
Credit-monitoring services are being offered to customers
affected.
A company representative declined to comment beyond the
statement.
The hotel chain, which went public in 2013, includes Hilton
Hotels & Resorts, Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts, Conrad
Hotels & Resorts, Canopy by Hilton, Curio — A Collection by
Hilton, DoubleTree by Hilton, Embassy Suites by Hilton, Hilton
Garden Inn, Hampton by Hilton, Homewood Suites by Hilton, Home2
Suites by Hilton and Hilton Grand Vacations.
Corrections & Amplifications
Hilton Worldwide on Tuesday reported hackers gained access to
its payment system. An earlier version of this article incorrectly
stated that data had been stolen.
