Fully agree.... and in my opinion this is the reason the management of the Crowne Plaza Venice East, with the support of IHG HQ, is using two local newspaper (the only within their reach) to circulate the news about the hacker attack.
I can bet they offered money or free stays to both the journalists in order to popularize this thesis...
