The five-star Muckross Park Hotel & Spa in Co Kerry is investigating a data breach which may have resulted in hackers accessing the email addresses of customers. In a statement to the Independent.ie, a spokesperson for the hotel said: “Muckross Park Hotel was made aware of a data breach last week where there was a hack on a hotel email account. The hotel is following advice from its IT providers to further strengthen the hotel’s email system security. “The hotel is also contacting all potentially impacted customers to advise them to forward any suspicious email purporting to be from Muckross Park Hotel to the hotel for immediate investigation.”The hotel does not know how many guests have been affected at this time. The personal data of around 10.6 million guests who stayed at MGM resorts also appeared online last year after a data breach.
