What makes you so sure that Marriott's systems haven't been hacked before too? I would be very surprised if there weren't at least two state actors that swiped a chunk of Marriott customer data from the era before Marriott even acquired SPG.

Imagine that after some time and negotiation, I finally buy a classic car I've been interested in for a while. In the process of cleaning it up to get it show-ready, I find hairs in the grill that are then later found to be connected to the victim of a fatal hit-and-run that happened years ago. If some here on FT had their way, I would be on trial for first-degree murder.
To get the analogy straight, the grill would have hairs from more than one victim, with at least one of the victims being killed during your ownership and sole possession of the car/car keys. Then you become a suspect for at least one count of vehicular manslaughter.
