Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s string of luxury hotel properties, The Trump Hotel Collection, appears to be dealing with the second breach of its credit card systems in a year, KrebsonSecurity reported on Monday.

The company was investigating the claims, the blog reported. (bit.ly/25HgQWb)

The company could not be immediately reached.

The luxury hotel fell victim to a credit card breach in July.

The hotel industry has been hit by such breaches. Hyatt Hotels Corp had reported a malware attack to steal payment card data in January while Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc had reported a breach in November.
