HEI Hotels & Resorts has stated that a security breach may have compromised customer data related to transactions between March 25 and April 17, 2010.

"In a letter to customers who stayed at one of its properties, the Algonquin Hotel, the firm informed customers that they believed that the point of sale system used in its restaurants, bars, and gift shops and the information management system used at check-in were illegally accessed and transactions intercepted," according to DataBreaches.net.

"Customers were informed that the credit card’s number, expiration date, security code, and encoded magstripe data were at risk," the article states.
