Marriott has revealed that its Starwood guest reservation database was recently impacted by a security breach. The intrusion was detected on November 19 by a Marriott investigation after the company received an alert on September 8,2018. Following the alert, Marriott says it tapped security experts as part of an investigation that ultimately discovered “unauthorized access” on its Starwood network. This access had been in place since 2014.
Marriott revealed the breach in a statement today, explaining that the impacted database contained guest information provided as part of the reservation process. The information pertained to Starwood properties, including Sheraton Hotels & Resorts, Element Hotels, and more, for reservations made on or before September 10.
