Marriott faces London lawsuit over vast data breach

Posted on August 19, 2020 by Dissent

Kirstin Ridley reports:

Martin Bryant, founder of technology and media consultancy Big Revolution, is leading the claim for English and Welsh-domiciled guests after more than 300 million customer records from Marriott’s global database, potentially including passport and credit card details, were hacked between 2014 and 2018.
