Payment systems of 20 high-profile hotels in 10 US states and the DC area were compromised. Independent forensic investigation found the payments systems had been infected with malware from March 2015. Information such as names, verification codes and other card information may have been stolen from cards used at point-of-sale terminals. Customers are assured the systems have been wiped clean and the threat removed, but customers are advised to double-check their bank information to make sure no illegal transactions have been made in their name in the past year.”]
