Marriott says 5.2 million guest records were stolen in another data breach

Marriott has confirmed a second data breach in three years — this time involving the personal information on 5.2 million guests.

The hotel giant said Tuesday it discovered in late February the breach of an unspecified property system at a franchise hotel.

The hackers obtained the login details of two employees, a hotel statement said,

and broke in weeks earlier during mid-January.
