Company's Network Confirms a Hack Attack on Credit Card Data


Hotel chain Mandarin Oriental confirm on hack attack.  It stated that credit card data has been stolen in a hack attack on the company's network. According to Digital Marketing Agency, the number of hotels was hit and how much data has gone missing is murky.
More detail will be provided when it had them, because now it said, “it was carrying out an investigation.”
The Mandarin Oriental Group said in the statement, “point-of-sale systems at some of the 45 hotels it runs had been infected with malicious data-grabbing software while the group has leading data security systems in place, this malware is undetectable by all anti-viral systems.”
Security expert Brian Krebs posted in the blog that knowing how much the stolen cards are worth when and if and they go up for sale in the underground card markets is very significant.
