Trump Hotel Data Breach

What happened to expose customer data at Trump Hotels? Hotel security systems were “compromised as a result of malware that went unnoticed on system computers for more than a year.”

How long did hackers potentially have access? 1+ year

What responses did Trump Hotels have?

• Hired independent investgators who found no instances of data being accessed through the malware
• “Immediately upon learning of a possible incident, we [Trump Hotels] notified the F.B.I. and financial institutions, and engaged an outside forensic expert to conduct an investigation of the incident.”

lawsuits?  oh, yes, there were lawyer patrons. A suit has been filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois on Oct. 2, asking for a class action suit to be opened.
