Hershey Entertainment & Resorts Co., which operates family theme park Hersheypark in Hershey, Pennsylvania, said it is investigating a possible cyber breach.
Some of the park's guests have reported that fraudulent charges have appeared on their payment card statements, and it is investigating the situation, a park spokeswoman said in an emailed statement Wednesday.
“We take reports like this very seriously,” said the statement. “While our company does have security measures in place designed to prevent unauthorized access to our network, we immediately began to investigate our system for signs of an issue and engaged an external commuter security firm to asset us. The investigation is ongoing.”
The report about Hershey was originally reported by cyber security blogger Brian Krebs.
