Wyndham Worldwide is a hospitality business which franchise and manages hotels.
The FTC complaint alleged that they engaged in unfair and deceptive practices because, despite their claim that they had implemented reasonable measures to protect personal information from unauthorized access, they failed to do so such as by allowing software to be configured inappropriate and failing to remedy known security vulnerabilities, leading to hackers accessing Wyndham's computer network three separate times and accessing customers' personal information including credit card information.
