Calls to her credit card revealed another bogus charge for $7,500 at Home Depot."Of course, I wasn't liable for anything," she said. "But it was still scary and frustrating."Fox believes that her hotel may have compromised her credit card information. At least one government agency shares her concerns. Last summer, the Federal Trade Commission sued Wyndham Hotels, alleging that the company had failed to protect its customers' personal information. As a result, the FTC claims, hundreds of thousands of credit card numbers fell into the wrong hands, leading to millions of dollars in fraud related losses. Wyndham denies any wrongdoing and is fighting the suit."Data security is becoming an issue of significant importance in the hospitality industry," said Mark Schreiber, an attorney specializing in hospitality law at the Boston firm of Edwards Wildman Palmer. "We just don't pay attention to the details when we're running through airports and staying in unfamiliar places," he said. "It's easier to miss something and to be careless."Data breaches can happen anywhere within a hotel. Ann Azevedo, an engineer who lives in Hartford, Conn., checked out of a chain hotel in Seattle not long ago. A few days later, someone used her card to buy gas on the other side of the country, she says. The likely source of the breach was an ATM machine at the hotel. "I canceled the credit card," she said. Apart from paying with cash, there's almost no way to tell whether a hotel will treat your personal information with care or whether it will leave a backdoor or firewall unguarded for hackers to steal your credit card information. Apart from having the hotel industry tighten security, the best way to address data theft may be through changes in consumer law. 2013 Christopher Elliott Tribune Media Services, Inc.Story tags Hotels accommodationShare your comments: Log in using your HeraldNet account or your Facebook, Twitter or Disqus profile.
