Re: A bit of honesty

Marriott have put aside upto £100m for the fine - while they're challenging the decision is this a case of not accepting the legal liability, accepting the fine and challenging the amount? Or not accepting they should be fined, because I don't

From previous accounts, Marriott appeared to have a robust internal data security policy given their ability to detect an intrusion and publicly disclosed what happened and have fully co-operated with the investigation. The challenge was in discovering just how broken Starwoods data security systems were prior to the acquisition and then subsequently during the integration of the companies.
