By now, the headlines will scarcely surprise anyone. Yet another business has suffered a major data breach. This time, it was Omni Hotels, a luxury hotel chain. The breach, which was discovered on May 30, 2016, began December 23, 2015 and was not completely eradicated from the company\u2019s network until June 14, 2016.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, we do not have any information at this time as to how many customers may have been impacted, nor which specific hotel locations were infected. What we do know is that the malware that was discovered was designed to collect certain credit card payment information, including the name of the cardholder, the credit or debit card number, the security code, and the card\u2019s expiration date. There is presently no evidence that social security numbers or personal identification numbers were at risk.<\/p>\n
Given the general lack of information, the best policy is that if you have stayed at any Omni Hotel location is to assume that your card information was compromised and proceed accordingly. Call the company that issued the card and report that it may have been compromised. They\u2019ll issue you a new one. Also review your recent credit card statements for any sign of suspicious activity.<\/p>\n
Finally, while you\u2019re in a security frame of mind, consider reviewing your passwords, and be sure that you\u2019re using a different, robust password on every site you log into. If you do anything less, then you open yourself up to identity theft, which can complicate your life in ways you haven\u2019t even dreamed, and take literally years to recover from.<\/p>\n
From an enterprise perspective, it\u2019s time once again to ask, \u201cwhat\u2019s the state of digital security at your firm?\u201d If you don\u2019t know, or aren\u2019t satisfied with your answer, it\u2019s well past time to make a change.
