I am a lucky one, apparently. 5.2 million others, not so much.

Marriott believes that the following information could have been attained:
  • Contact details
  • Loyalty account information (but not passwords)
  • Additional personal details, such as company, gender and date of birth
  • Partnerships and affiliations e.g. linked airline loyalty programmes
  • Preferences e.g. room/stay and language preference
Marriott disabled the login credentials upon discovery of the activity and says it is carrying out an investigation into the matter. The company has also “implemented heightened monitoring and notified relevant authorities”.
Changed my password anyway.
