Kimpton Hotel Chain Investigating Possible Payment Card Breach

Around 24 properties of Kimpton Hotels across US likely affected.

Kimpton Hotels has confirmed a possible payment card breach at around 24 of its properties across the US and says it is investigating the charge, reports KrebsOnSecurity. The boutique hotel brand was responding following a KrebsOnSecurity query about a possible security incident that appears to have hit the hospitality chain in the past year.
Kimpton authorities alerted customers, noting: “If there are unauthorized charges, individuals should immediately notify their bank.”
