Alert – InterContinental Hotels Group confirms a credit card breach at 12 of its U.S. hotels.

According to Fortune.com (via Reuters):

InterContinental Hotels Group said on Friday that a malware in the servers at 12 of its hotels in the United States tracked payment card data if the card was used at the hotels’ restaurants and bars between August and December last year.

The company said that the malware searched for track data—the cardholder’s name, card number, expiration date, and the verification code—read from the magnetic stripe of a card as it was being routed through the affected server.

InterContinental said payment cards used at the front desk of the 12 hotels were not affected and that it was still conducting an investigating on its other hotels in the Americas region.

Business Travel News lists the 12 properties, along with the restaurants and bars identified in the breach:

InterContinental Hotels Group has discovered malware on point-of-sale systems at 12 of its U.S. hotels. IHG first began investigating its systems in late December after reports of suspicious activity on cards used at IHG properties. The malware targeted payment cards between August and December and collected information including cardholder name, card number, expiration date and CVV number. In August, multiple IHG properties were similarly targeted as part of a broader malware attack on POS systems at HEI Hotels & Resorts.
