Did you stay at the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa during your summer vacation?

With two pools, four tennis courts and an oceanfront location, it must have been paradise.

But now that you're back to reality--keep an eye on your credit card statements.

Hyatt hotels says there was unauthorized access to payment card information from cards manually entered or swiped at the front desk of certain Hyatt-managed locations between March 18, 2017, and July 2, 2017. The Hyatt in Maui was one of them.

Malware infected certain Hyatt Hotels IT systems

"Based on our investigation, we understand that such unauthorized access to card data was caused by an insertion of malicious software code from a third party onto certain hotel IT systems. Our enhanced cybersecurity measures and additional layers of defense implemented over time helped to identify and resolve the issue," said Chuck Floyd, Global President of Operations for Hyatt Hotels.

See the Hyatt hotel statement on malware or use the Hyatt Hotel drop-down tool to see if a Hyatt you stayed in, anywhere in the World, was impacted.

The largest concentration of malware-infected hotels appears to be in China, this time around.

This is the second malware cybersecurity incident at Hyatt Hotels in the last two years.

Last time it impacted nearly half of Hyatt's properties.
