The hotel chain, Marriot, has been fined £99.2m as a result of 339 million guests' data being exposed.
Once again, the hotel chain is to contest the fine.
The Marriott data breach included 30 million guest records belonging to Europeans. It occurred within Starwood - a rival hotel group that Marriott acquired three years ago. The compromised guest reservation system has since been phased out.
