Whoever penetrated Radisson's computers was able to remain there for more than half a year, during the period from November 2008 to May 2009. Korallus said that Radisson is working with federal law enforcement authorities to investigate what happened. "While the number of potentially affected hotels involved in this incident is limited, the data accessed may have included guest information such as the name printed on a guest's credit card or debit card, a credit or debit card number, and/or a card expiration date," he said in the letter. A spokesperson for the company said that he couldn't provide more specific information. "[T]he forensic investigation is still underway, and we are unable to provide accurate estimates of the number of potentially exposed records at this time," the spokesperson said via e-mail. "As more information becomes available, and if disclosing it will not compromise the investigation, we will provide updates."
