The slow-motion meltdown of Donald Trump’s empire, brought on largely by his inflammatory political comments, continues apace, this time fueled by hackers.
The Trump Hotel Collection, a chain of luxury hotels, has been hit by a major credit card breach.
“Like virtually every other company these days, we have been alerted to potential suspicious credit card activity and are in the midst of a thorough investigation to determine whether it involves any of our properties,” said Eric Trump, the executive vice president of development and acquisitions at The Trump Organization, in a statement to CNBC.
The first news of the credit card breach was reported by Krebs on Security, where the breach was described as a series of charges made to credit and debit cards used at the hotel chain.
Among the Trump Hotel Collection locations possibly affected are New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Miami, Chicago and Honolulu. Details regarding the severity of the breach in terms of monies lost have yet to be disclosed.
There’s no word on whether the hack attack is somehow linked to Donald Trump’s recent fall from grace, which saw major partners like Univision, NBC and Macy’s all sever ties with the uniquely coiffed real estate mogul and Republican presidential candidate.
