Hotels investigating potential security breach

Customer information at more than a dozen hotels spread across the country may have been stolen in yet another data breach, according to a company that manages several hundred properties for large hotel chains.

The breach was first reported by security researcher Brian Krebs.

The breach appears to have targeted the Merrillville, Ind.-based White Lodging Services, which manages hotels for several major brands. Accessed data may include names printed on customers' credit or debit cards, credit or debit card numbers, the security code and card expiration dates, according to White Lodging.

"Officials of White Lodging Services Corporation, an independent hotel management company, announce the suspected breach of point of sales systems from the period March 20 - December 16, 2013 at food and beverage outlets, such as restaurants and lounges, at 14 properties," the company said in a statement issued Monday afternoon.

"In addition, there was one property where the point of sale system and property management system used at the front desk were also suspected as affected. White Lodging manages hotels under agreements with the hotel owners and is a distinct and separate entity from specific hotel brands," the company said.

The food and beverage outlets affected by the suspected breach were located at the following hotels:

  • Marriott Boulder, Boulder, Colo.
  • Renaissance Broomfield Flatiron, Broomfield, Colo.
  • Marriott Denver South, Denver
  • Renaissance Plantation, Plantation, Fla.
  • Marriott Midway, Chicago
  • Holiday Inn Midway, Chicago
  • Marriott Indianapolis Downtown, Indianapolis
  • Radisson Star Plaza, Merrillville, Ind.
  • Marriott Louisville Downtown, Louisville, Ky.
  • Sheraton Erie Bayfront, Erie, Pa.
