Mandarin Oriental operates about 30 hotels in cities across the world including Paris, London, Geneva, New York, Miami, San Francisco, Las Vegas as well as Shanghai, Hong Kong and Macau.
The company said it removed the bad software from its systems. Its investigation is continuing. It did not give details on the extent of the hack or if customers' data were exposed.
