InterContinental Hotels Group at risk of fraud?
On December 28, 2016, InterContinental Hotels Group (IGH) announced it would conduct investigations after receiving a report of unauthorised charges that had occurred on some payment cards in a number of its U.S. hotel properties, Travel Agent Central has reported.
Upon receiving information of the first compromised card, IHG hired leading cyber security firms to examine the payment card processing systems for the hotels it manages within the Americas region.
As a result of the investigation, IHG is now providing notification to guests who used card payments at select restaurants and bars at 12 of the company’s managed properties during the time period of August 2016 to December 2016.
