Washington: The cyber attack on the Marriott hotel chain that collected personal details of some 500 million guests was part of a Chinese intelligence-gathering effort that also hacked health insurers and the security clearance files of millions more Americans, according to informed sources. The hackers were suspected of working on behalf of the Ministry of State Security, the country’s Communist-controlled civilian spy agency, the sources told The New York Times on Tuesday. The Marriott database contains not only credit card information but passport data. (IANS)
