Marriott hotels guest data hackedBy The Manila Timeshome/News/World/Marriott hotels guest data hackedNEW YORK: As many as 500 million guests at Marriott International hotels may have been victims of a hack that in many cases pilfered passport numbers, birthdates or other identifying data dating back to 2014, the company announced Friday (Saturday in Manila). Hotel brands in the Starwood network include Sheraton, Westin, Four Points and W Hotels. “We deeply regret this incident happened,” Marriott chief Arne Sorenson said in a statement. Marriott also could not rule out that hackers were also able to access some encrypted credit card information. For the other guests, the information was limited to names and sometimes other data such as mailing and email addresses or other information, the company said.
