(MENAFN) Investigators are saying that hackers working for China's main intelligence agency are behind the huge data breach in which personal information from about 500 million guests of the Marriott hotel chain were stolen.
According to a U.S. official, investigators believe the hackers were working for the Chinese Ministry of State Security.
He said investigators are mainly concerned about the breach in part because Marriott is frequently used by military and government officials.
The hack included the theft of credit card and passport numbers over four years from guests who stayed at Marriott hotels.
