<p class="MsoNormal">Rosen Credit Card Breach May Affect Attendees of Recent NFB Conventions<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Rosen Hotels and Resorts, which has been hosting the <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">National Federation of the Blind Convention <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">for the past 3 years, has reported a major security breach that has compromised guest's credit card information. In its rather lengthy
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">statement,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Rosen Hotels and Resorts said that they began receiving complaints in early February from guests who claimed there were unauthorized charges on their<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">credit cards after staying in one of the company's hotels. The chain's statement went on to say: "Findings from the investigation show that an unauthorized<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">person installed malware in RH&R s payment card network that searched for data read from the magnetic stripe of payment cards as it was routed through<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">the affected systems. In some instances the malware identified payment card data that included cardholder name, card number, expiration date, and internal<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">verification code. In other instances the malware only found payment card data that did not include cardholder name. No other customer information was<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">involved. Cards used at RH&R between September 2, 2014 and February 18, 2016 may have been affected.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This may affect payments that were accepted in person, including those made during the 2015 NFB convention, but not credit card information given over<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">the phone. The company says that customers should immediately report any unauthorized use of their cards to the credit card issuer. While Rosen Hotels<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">and Resorts will not refund fraudulent charges, they are offering free credit reports to effected customers. If you think you were impacted by this breach,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">and need further assistance, the company has also set up a help line which you can reach by calling 855-907-3214.
