Two more hotel chains are the latest to add to the growing list of those announcing recent data breaches. Denver-based Millennium Hotels & Resorts North America, and Kirkland, Wash.-based Noble House Hotels and Resorts announced that they have suffered card-related point-of-sale system cyber security incidents.

Food and beverage systems at fourteen Millenium locations in the United States were affected, compromising about 5,000 cardholders.  The hotel chain received notice of the incident from the Secret Service, and subsequently received a warning from its processor that it had detected and addressed malicious code in certain legacy POS systems. The affected hotel locations are in:

• Anchorage, AK
• Boston, MA
• Boulder, CO
• New York, NY
• Buffalo, NY
• Chicago, IL
• Cincinnati, OH
• Durham, NC
• Los Angeles, CA

• Nashville, TN
• Scottsdale, AZ

Earlier this month, HEI Hotels & Resorts reported a breach affecting 12 Starwood hotels, six Marriott International properties, one Hyatt hotel and one InterContinental hotel.  The locations were compromised by malware active from March of 2015 through June of 2016. About 8,000 cards were compromised.
