An estimated 339 million individuals’ personal details were exposed in a massive data breach involving Marriott’s Starwood guest reservation system. An estimated $24.2 million fine was the second largest privacy fine in British history.

The ICO hit Marriott with a 18.4 million pound fine under the General Data Protection Regulation.”]
