The Hyatt hotel chain discovered credit-card stealing malware in its payment system on November 30 and announced it December 23, in an apparent attempt to spread holiday cheer.
Hyatt's notice to customers has very few details about the investigation, such as how long the breach lasted or how many consumers may have had their card data stolen as a result. Hyatt did say that it has taken steps to strengthen its systems, and that "customers can feel confident using payment cards at Hyatt hotels worldwide."
Hilton, Starwood, and Trump hotels have enjoyed similar data breaches over the past few months.

Disposing all the paperwork securely is a ball-ache too.
Why don't we work on making javascript more secure - no reason for it to be reading files, screen image, keystrokes and sending that back to someone.
