IHG done got pwned again.

So if you stayed at a Holiday Inn Express [or Crowne Plaza, or... ] then you probably should pay attention to your card statements.

This is why it's always better to use a credit card rather'n a debit card if possible - gamble with the bank's money, not yours.

[ Yes! I know! You -can- get the money back on a fraudulent debit charge....

....after the bank has investigated, etc.

Why bother going through that hassle? Use a credit card so they act as a firewall to soak any fraudulent charges, and pay it off immediately after.]
