Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein would be of limited use with this 21st-century breach though.
The Watergate Hotel in the District suffered a data breach last year and has recently notified those affected online and via mail.
The hackers targeted personal and financial information.
The hotel noticed suspicious activity on its network on April 6, 2024. After securing the network and investigating, the hotel found that the cyber-burglars had gotten access to hotel computers and were therefore able to see and download certain files, the hotel said on its website.
About 2,220 people were affected by the data breach, according to a data breach database maintained by the Office of the Maine Attorney General.
The data stolen varies by individual, the Watergate said, but includes names, financial account and credit card information, health insurance and medical information, and Social Security, government identification and driver’s license numbers.
