"InterContinental Hotels Confirms Cyberattack After Two-Day Outage"

InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) has recently confirmed its subsidiary Holiday Inn has been hit by a cyberattack.  More specifically, the firm issued a statement saying it was investigating "unauthorized access" to a number of its technology systems.  The acknowledgment comes two days after the UK–based company's booking channels and other applications were disrupted, preventing many customers from booking accommodations online.  IHG is currently assessing the nature, extent, and impact of the incident and is implementing its response plans, which reportedly include the appointment of external specialists to investigate the breach.  Currently, IHG is uncertain what kind of cyberattack affected Holiday Inn's systems in the UK, but the events come weeks after a Holiday Inn in Istanbul was breached by LockBit on August 26.
