So assuming that his machine is compromised, the first method of attack was Marriott points? Sounds shockingly similar to the responses I got in a similar situation with my Bethesda.net account getting hacked. Again, complex PW from a manager. How likely is it that if someone gained access to that vault or my PC the first thing they would attack would be an account which only lets them gain access to a garbage fallout game and not my email/social media/bank account?
Considering the large amount of points in OP's Marriott account, I highly doubt that was the highest-value target available. Considering it's already known that parts of their network were compromised, Occam's razor points to this being a vuln on the hotel's end.
- bouncycastle 7y agoSounds like they would be specifically targeted. It could be mailware that's delivered over the hotel's wifi or perhaps the maids dropping mailware on unattended laptops? If Marriott investigates this, they should look if similar incidents happened and correlate them with recent stays.
