HACKERS in China are suspected of being responsible for the Marriott data breach which compromised the personal details of up to 500 million customers (TD 03 Dec).
Investigators in the US believe the breach was part of a Chinese intelligence-gathering effort involving the country’s Ministry of State Security, the New York Times says.
The Trump administration is planning action in coming days, the newspaper says, including indictments against Chinese hackers working for intelligence services and the military.
It notes that Marriott is a major hotel provider for American govt and military personnel.
