Radisson Hotels and Resorts fall victim to security data breach

One of the large hotel chains in America, Radisson Hotels and Resorts, has fallen victim to a large security breach due to unauthorized access to their computer systems. This occurred from around November of 2008 to May of 2009, and may have exposed guests’ credit and debit card numbers, as well as their expiration dates.

Radisson Hotels and Resorts is currently working with law enforcement to investigate, and they are deeply concerned about the safety of their client’s information.

That being said, Radisson Hotels and Resorts stated on their website (http://www.radisson.com/openletter/openletter.html) that they will be offering free credit report monitoring services for those who may have been affected. It is highly recommended that those affected keep a close eye on unusual activity on their bank accounts and credit card statements.
