The owner of the Holiday Inn and Crowne Plaza hotel brands has disclosed that payment card-stealing malware has struck about 1,200 of its franchisees' properties [bbc.co.uk].

UK-based Intercontinental Hotels Group (IHG) said all but one of the locations [ihg.com] affected were in the US, with the other being in Puerto Rico.

Guests have been warned they could have had money stolen as a consequence.

One expert said there might be further hotels affected.

Buckinghamshire-based IHG had previously reported in February that a dozen US hotels that it managed itself had been affected by the same attack.

Better pack the tent next time.
