What will happen if the information of 300 million guests of Marriott Hotel is leaked to consumers?

Modern science and technology have brought great convenience to people's lives, and everyone's dependence on science and technology is becoming more and more serious. However, while technology brings convenience, there are also some security risks. For example, our personal information is used in different places, but it may be leaked through some black technologies. A data leak occurred at Marriott Hotel. The hotel's system was hacked, resulting in the disclosure of hundreds of millions of customer information. In some hotels, the data leakage time even spanned several years, so Marriott Hotel was severely punished. The disclosure of personal information may affect the normal life of guests and may also bring property losses to consumers.

First, it may affect the daily life of consumers. Marriott Hotel is positioned as a high-end hotel, and people who stay in it are people with status. If these people are exposed, they may go to different places. Their identity information may be purchased by some merchants. If so, they will often receive all kinds of sales calls. If this happens for a long time, it is likely to affect the daily life of these consumers.

Second, it may bring property losses to consumers. I believe that hackers who attack the hotel also know that the customers who will stay at Marriott Hotel are rich. These people will give their ID information to the hotel when they check in. There are also some payment card numbers of the guests. If you make use of these identity information and make a little investigation, it is very possible to find out the property information of these guests, while using other means may cause certain losses to consumers' property.

Third, it may bring security risks to consumers. The information leaked by the hotel, including name, mailing address, telephone number and so on, is very valuable. Many people staying in hotels are business people, and if their competitors know about it, it may do harm to their personal safety. This incident also reminds everyone to pay attention to protecting their personal information and not to give it to others at will.
