The California Office of the Attorney General reported a data breach involving Pacific Hospitality Group on July 21, 2017. The breach involved unauthorized access to customer payment card information from November 3, 2016, to March 9, 2017. The incident was attributed to Sabre Hospitality Solutions' Central Reservations system, affecting unencrypted payment card information for several hotels. Although there is no evidence that any information was removed from Sabre's system, the breach highlights the vulnerability of customer data in the hospitality industry.
