Marriott Security Breach of Consumer Information

Marriott International has announced that its Starwood Guest reservation database was breached which has exposed personal information of its guests.  This includes the names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, passport numbers, dates of birth, gender and reservation information. 

Some payment information of card numbers and expirations dates was also obtained although Marriott says the information was encrypted but does not know if the hackers also obtained information to decrypt.

The Federal Trade Commission also has helpful information about steps to take to if you were exposed at  https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/blog/2018/12/marriott-data-breach?utm_source=govdelivery.
