Japanese hotel chain Prince Hotels Inc said Tuesday it found about 125,000 items of customer information such as names and credit card numbers have been stolen and leaked.

The hotel operator said the affected customers are mostly foreign visitors, as the information was leaked through unauthorized access from outside to its booking websites run in English, Chinese and Korean.

Prince Hotels has not yet confirmed any use of the stolen data which also include addresses after the operator of the servers for the websites informed the hotel of the leakage last Thursday.

Customer information was leaked through two servers. Of the 125,000 items, names, addresses and other personal information were leaked in 58,000 pieces from one server, affecting customers who had booked hotel rooms sometime between May 2017 and June 2018.

Information about credit card numbers was stolen from another server in 67,000 items involving customers who had made reservations before August 2017.
