Radisson loyalty program suffers data breach
An attacker gained access to Radisson Rewards members’ names, physical and email addresses but credit card and password data were not exposed.
The Radisson hotel chain is notifying customers of a data breach after members of its Radisson Rewards program were compromised in a security incident. Radisson Rewards first detected the breach on Oct. 1 and revoked access to the unauthorized party, the company reports.
Radisson Hotel Group released a statement confirming the data-security incident. In the statement, it said that no credit card or password information was compromised. Instead, information accessed was restricted to member names, addresses, email addresses, company names, phone numbers, Radisson Rewards member numbers and frequent-flyer numbers.
The hotel added that it immediately revoked access to the unauthorized persons and all affected member accounts have been secured and flagged so that the hotel can monitor them for unauthorized behavior. It also added that members should monitor their own accounts for suspicious activity and that the hackers may try to email members, claiming to be Radisson Rewards, asking for personal information such as password and user information.
