If you need legal advice about the Marriott data breach, we can help. This is another huge breach that has led to private and sensitive data being exposed.<\/p>\n

This has to be 2018\u2019s mega breach. Although we thought the British Airways one was the breach to set the bar, this one is obscene in terms of data breached and the timeframe. Some 500 million customers whose data was on Marriott\u2019s Starwood reservation database has been comprised since 2014. Anyone with data on the system up until 10th<\/sup> September 2018 may be affected.<\/p>\n

About the Marriott data breach<\/strong><\/h3>\n

News of the Marriott data breach hit the headlines in the last couple of weeks.<\/p>\n

The unauthorised third-party appears to have had access since 2014. A breach period spanning a four-year period is incredibly concerning.<\/p>\n
