IHG warns of second payment card data breach
InterContinental Hotels Group has issued a warning to customers over a second payment card data breach, which happened in late 2016.
The latest breach occurred for transactions made between September 29, 2016 and December 29, 2016 and the company says there is no evidence any cards were compromised after this date.
This breach affects more properties than the first payment card data breach IHG confirmed in February, which affected card payments at 12 hotels in the US and Caribbean.
In the latest case, there are reportedly 1,100 hotels that have been affected.
It is unclear if the latest hack is linked but is likely to have been detected following ongoing investigations into the earlier data breach.
