Hackers stole credit card info from Trump hotel guests for months

Source: The Hill

Hackers gained access to credit cards and other information from guests at 14 Trump organization properties in 2016 and had unfettered access to the information for months, the organization reported Tuesday.

A statement released on the organization's website reported that hackers gained access to "cardholder name, payment card number, card expiration date, and potentially card security code" information for guests who stayed at Trump hotels between August 2016 and March 2017.

In some cases, hackers also gained access to guest names, email, phone numbers, addresses, and other information, although the company reported that Social Security numbers and passports were not accessed.

“The privacy and protection of our guests’ information is a matter we take very seriously,” the Trump organization said in the statement.

there were many American Express Centurion Black Cards on that list. Those would sell for H-U-G-E money on the dark web. It would serve them right for staying at one of Trump's overpriced, sub-par, roach-infested flop houses. It just couldn't happen to a nicer, more select group of douche nozzles.
