Marriott's Starwood hack hits up to 500 million customers

By Jim Finkle and Arjun Panchadar

(Reuters) - Marriott International Inc (MAR.O) said on Friday that hackers accessed up to 500 million customer records in its Starwood Hotels reservation system in an attack that began four years ago, exposing data including passport numbers and payment cards.

Shares fell 6 percent on news of the hack, one of the largest in history, which prompted regulators in Britain and at least five U.S. states to launch investigations.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation said it was looking into the attack on Starwood, whose brands include Sheraton, St. Regis, W and Westin hotels. It advised affected customers to check for identity fraud and report it to the bureau's Internet Crime Complaint Center.

The hack began in 2014, a year before Marriott offered to buy Starwood to create the world's largest hotel operator. The $13.6 billion deal closed in September 2016.

In verschlüsselter Form seien den kriminellen Angreifern zudem rund 20 Millionen Nummern in die Hände gefallen, teilte der Konzern mit.
