Marriott International has agreed to pay $52 million and implement necessary changes to its data security system in an effort to settle both state and federal claims following major data breaches that impacted more than 300 million of its customers around the globe. The data breaches took place from 2014 to 2020.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), attorneys general from 49 states, and the District of Columbia, reached separate settlement agreements with the hotel giant on Wednesday, Reuters reported. Both the FTC and the states conducted investigations into three data breaches during which hackers compromised sensitive customer information.
