Exclamation Marriott announces new data breach; up to 5.2 million guests affected

Anyone else get an email from them today about their account being compromised? I got the following (only posting the first bit as it's a long email!)

Dear Valued Guest, We are writing to let you know that some of your information may have been accessed without authorization. We are sorry that this occurred, and this message explains what happened, how we can assist you, and steps you can take.

What Happened

Hotels operated and franchised under Marriott’s brands use an application to help provide services to guests at hotels. At the end of February 2020, we identified that an unexpected amount of guest information may have been accessed using the login credentials of two employees at a franchise property. We believe this activity started in mid-January 2020. Upon discovery, we confirmed that the login credentials were disabled, immediately began an investigation, implemented heightened monitoring, and arranged resources to inform and assist guests. Your information was among the information that appears to have been accessed.
