In December 2016, Best American Hospitality Corp. disclosed a cybersecurity incident in which malware was installed on point‑of‑sale systems at multiple managed restaurant sites. The malware captured payment card data, including card numbers, expiration dates, verification codes, and in some cases cardholder names. The unauthorized access persisted for several months before being identified and contained. An external forensic investigation was engaged to confirm the compromise and to guide remediation efforts. The company worked with payment card networks to increase monitoring of potentially affected cards and to notify relevant stakeholders. Following the incident, Best American Hospitality Corp. reviewed its security controls and implemented enhancements to prevent similar occurrences.
