NEW YORK, NY - MARCH 22: A person rides a bike past the Marriott hotel in Times Square as much of the city is void of cars and pedestrians over fears of spreading the coronavirus on March 22, 2020 in New York City. Marriott has announced furlough thousands of workers at its properties throughout the country. Across the country schools, businesses and places of work have either been shut down or are restricting hours of operation as health officials try to slow the spread of COVID-19.

(AP) Marriott says guests’ names, loyalty account information and other personal details may have been accessed in the second major data breach to hit the company in less than two years.
The world’s largest hotel company says approximately 5.2 million guests may have been affected.
The information taken may have included names, addresses, birthdays, room preferences and loyalty information for linked companies like airlines.
Marriott says it’s still investigating, but it doesn’t believe credit card information, passport numbers or driver’s license information was accessed.
The company says it is notifying impacted guests.
Marriott also discovered a massive data breach in late 2018.
