Marriott is looking at another big data breach after a group of cybercriminals claims to have stolen an estimated 20 gigabytes of data, including financial data like credit card information and confidential information about guests and workers from an employee at the BWI Airport Marriott in Baltimore. The group identified themselves as GNN or “Group with No Name” to media outlets and sent along samples of the purportedly stolen data. Marriott contends that the stolen data consisted of “non-sensitive internal business files regarding the operation of the property.” The incident remains under investigation.
