You could claim compensation worth thousands if your data was affected by the Marriott data breach that occurred in 2014 and was discovered in 2018.

A data breach occurred in 2014 when Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide suffered a cyber-attack, but this wasn’t discovered until 2018 by which time they had already been acquired by Marriott. The personal data that was accessed during the hack varied between individuals but could have included:
The precise number of people affected is unclear due to there being multiple records for an individual guest. In total, 7 million guest records related to people in the UK. Anyone involved in the breach should have been informed by Marriott that they are one of those affected, though it is possible that you did not receive the notification, or it went into a junk folder, in which case it is still possible you could make a claim.
Those affected by the cyber-attack are eligible to make a Marriott International data breach claim for compensation. We can put you in touch with expert data breach solicitors who are putting together a collective group claim that will bring together the large number of Marriott customers. If you are a Marriott customer and received notification about involvement in the data breach, you are eligible to join our group claim. Compensation is payable, not only for any specific financial or other losses you have incurred, but also for any distress caused by the data breach which could have left you open to the risk of fraudulent activity.
The investigation by the ICO led to a substantial fine of £18.4 million for Marriott for failing to keep millions of customers’ personal data secure. The ICO found that Marriott had failed to put appropriate technical or organisational measures in place to protect the personal data being processed on its systems, as required by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
While any compensation is unrelated to the actual amount of the fine, the fact that they were given a significant penalty greatly enhances the prospect of a successful Marriott data breach compensation claim.
