Credit Card Data Breach Discovered at 42 Michigan Hotels

Michigan wasn't the only state affected by a 2016 hotel credit card breach, there were actually 1,175 hotels in total nationwide.

According to WNEM, this massive credit card data breach took place in the last few months of 2016. Payment information of potentially thousands of customers of hotels like Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, and Crowne Plaza were all exposed.

Things that were at risk include your credit card number, expiration date and the 3 digit code on the back of the card (verification number).

This really has potential to screw a lot of people that stayed in certain hotels in September, November and December of 2016. Basically what you need to do is check your credit card statements for any weird and suspicious activity. It would also be a smart move to call your card company to get any issues resolved.

The time span of the breach could still widen as the investigation continues.
