Hyatt yesterday quietly posted a notice on its website informing potential guests that their credit information may have been breached if they have stayed at more than 40 properties worldwide.
This time the hack has been very sever because the breach has happened at the system that processes the payment information for folio expenses. Previous breaches at hotels have happened at outlets such as restaurants that have processed credit card payments.
You can access Hyatt’s website for this breach information here.
Here are the affected properties (Hyatt has made the information difficult to find):

Conclusion
Hyatt has the worst IT and website of the hotel industry period. Wouldn’t come as a surprise if they had absolutely the worst security implementation as well.
If you have stayed at any of the 40+ properties mentioned above between March and July this year, you should pay attention to the credit card charges coming through as your card may be compromised.
