Hackers have been stealing credit card numbers from Trumps hotels for months....

Guests at 14 Trump properties, including hotels in Washington, New York and Vancouver, have had their credit card information exposed, marking the third time in as many years that a months-long security breach has affected customers of the chain of luxury hotels.

The news of the latest cybersecurity attack comes less than a year after Trump International Hotels Management paid $50,000 in penalties to New York state for failing to notify customers immediately after earlier data breaches led to the exposure of more than 70,000 credit card numbers and 300 Social Security numbers. The company also agreed to update its security practices as a result of the settlement.

“Why are hackers targeting hotels? Well, because they’re a good target,” said Peter W. Singer, a senior fellow at the New America Foundation, a centrist think tank. “Then you look at Trump’s hotels, and they’re obviously a highly symbolic target.”
The hotel chain has probably become even more appealing to hackers in recent months, Singer said, because it has attracted a steady stream of Republican lawmakers, industry lobbyists and foreign dignitaries seeking to conduct business with the president.
“If more people are staying there in an attempt to curry favor with the government, the fishing pool of targets is certainly greater than it was prior to November,” he said
