Hackers stole credit card data

The hotel chain that owns Holiday Inn, Crowne Plaza, InterContinental and other brands said credit card information of their guests may have been stolen last year at thousands of locations, including more than 100 in Canada.

British-based InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) said it is aware of “unauthorized charges occurring on payment cards after they were legitimately used at their location.”

More than 1,000 locations across North American are impacted, including 113 in Canada, mostly in Ontario and Alberta. The vast majority of affected Canadian hotels are branded either Holiday Inn, or Holiday Inn Express but other names, including Candlewood Suites, Staybridge Suites and Crowne Plaza locations, are also impacted.
