A division of the Marriott International hotel empire has notified more than 200,000 clients of back-up security tapes missing from the company’s Orlando corporate offices. The breached records contained personal information of about 206,000 associates, timeshare owners and timeshare customers, the company said this week in a statement. Stephen P. Weisz, Marriott Vacation Club International president, said the company was assisting affected customers.
"We regret this situation has occurred and realize this may cause concern for our associates and customers," he said. "We have recently mailed notifications to associates, timeshare owners and timeshare customers and are available to answer any questions they may have."
