Global hotel chain Hyatt has advised customers to review their card statements after it found malicious software on the computer system that processes customer payments, raising the possibility that hackers may have obtained credit card numbers or other sensitive information, reports .

The company has not said if any customer data was stolen. Hyatt spokeswoman Stephanie Sheppard said in an email the malware was discovered on 30 November but did not say why the company waited more than three weeks to report the discovery on Wednesday.

Hyatt is the latest of several major hotel chains to report this year that hackers had attacked their computers. The Hilton, Starwood, Mandarin Oriental and Trump Collection chains have previously acknowledged finding malware in their payment systems.
