While it did not release more details of the breach, InterContinental clarified that front desk customers were not victimized.
Properties affected by the breach, which occurred between August and December last year, include InterContinental Chicago Magnificent Mile, the InterContinental San Francisco and Holiday Inn Resort – Aruba. Investigation into other properties continues.
