Credit Card Hackers Visit Hotels All Too Often‏

According to a study released this year by SpiderLabs, which is a part of the data-security consulting company Trustwave, it is found that 38% credit card hacking cases in 2009 involved the hotel industry. The sector of hotel was well ahead of the financial services industry, retailing, as well as restaurants and bars.
Why? It is indicated by the experts that hackers hit hotels as there is the richest vein of personal credit card data. At hotels with inadequate data security, the largest amount of information of credit cards can be gained via the most simplified ways.
The sophistication of such systems vary greatly from one hotel to another, even within the same company chain, making it an easy route for hackers.
