Marriott's data breach exposed the information of 131.5 million customers, highlighting the severe consequences of inadequate data security and the need for robust protections.
Attorney General James emphasized that protecting customers' private information should be a top priority, not a last resort, underlining the severity of Marriott's oversight.
The settlement requires Marriott to undergo independent assessments of its data security, minimize data retention, and actively strengthen vendor oversight to prevent future breaches.
As part of the settlement, Marriott will implement multi-factor authentication for loyalty accounts and allow customers to delete their stored data, enhancing overall security.
