Hackers may have stolen credit card data from several Trump hotel locations, including the Trump International Hotel and Tower in New York City, the company says.
From Trump Hotels: As a precaution, the Trump Hotel Collection (“THC”) is providing notice of a security incident possibly affecting certain individuals who made payment card purchases at some hotels managed by THC, including Trump SoHo New York, Trump National Doral, Trump International New York, Trump International Chicago, Trump International Waikiki, Trump International Hotel & Tower Las Vegas, and Trump International Toronto (collectively, the “Properties”).
Although an independent forensic investigation has not conclusively determined that any particular customer’s payment card information was taken from the Properties’ payment card system or misused, we are providing this notice out of an abundance of caution to inform potentially affected customers of the incident and to call their attention to some steps they may choose to take to help protect themselves.
While the independent forensic investigator did not find evidence that information was taken from the Hotel’s systems, it appears that there may have been unauthorized malware access to payment card information as it was inputted into the payment card systems.
Payment card data (including payment card account number, card expiration date, and security code) of individuals who used a payment card at the Hotel between May 19, 2014, and June 2, 2015, may have been affected. For transactions on the point-of-sale terminals at the Las Vegas and Waikiki properties, cardholder name may also have been affected.
THC takes the privacy of personal information seriously. Immediately upon learning of a possible incident, THC notified the F.B.I. and financial institutions, and engaged an outside forensic expert to conduct an investigation of the incident.
