The Hilton hotel chain was accused of improperly handling two distinct cyberattacks that resulted in the exposure of its customers' financial information, and as a result, it agreed to pay Vermont and New York $700,000.
According to the inquiry, thieves put denial-of-service malware on Hilton's payment systems, which would have exposed cardholders' personal information.
The business is held accountable for the customers' delayed notice and is charged with having a payment method with inadequate security.
Hilton will improve the security of its payment systems and internal incident response protocols as part of the settlement.
