Hilton Hotels investigates customer credit card security hack
Hilton Hotels announced that it is looking into a possible security breach that occurred at gift shops, restaurants, bars, and other stores located on Hilton owned properties across the U.S.
According to cyber-security expert Brian Krebs, Visa sent confidential alerts to several financial institutions warning of a security breach at various retail locations earlier this year from April 21 to July 27. While the alerts named individual card numbers that had allegedly been compromised, per Visa's policy, the notifications did not name the breached retail location. But sources at five different banks have now determined that the hacks all had one thing in common--they occurred at Hilton property point-of-sale registers
