Omni Hotels confirms cyberattack behind ongoing IT outage

Omni Hotels & Resorts suffered a cyberattack starting March 29 that forced the company to take systems offline and prompted an ongoing incident response with a leading cybersecurity firm; impacted services include reservations, POS, and electronic door locks across its ~50 properties. Sources indicate the outage is consistent with a ransomware attack and restored systems are being rebuilt from backups, though no threat actor has claimed responsibility and data leakage has not been confirmed.
