Atlantis, Paradise Island Provides Notice of Data Security Incident
PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas, Nov. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Atlantis, Paradise Island (the “Resort”) today announced that a recent data security incident may have compromised the security of payment information of some customers who used debit or credit cards at food and beverage and retail locations at the Resort between March 9, 2016 and October 22, 2016. We have engaged professionals who have corrected the issue and customers can now safely use their credit and debit cards at the food and beverage and retail locations at the Resort. This incident did not affect credit and debit cards used to make or pay for hotel reservations or purchases made by guests who charged their food and beverage or retail purchases back to their room.
What Happened? The Resort began investigating unusual activity after receiving reports from its credit card processor. The Resort immediately began working with third-party forensic experts to investigate these reports and to identify any signs of compromise on its computer systems. On October 21, 2016, the Resort discovered suspicious files on its computer systems that indicated a potential compromise of customers’ credit and debit card data for some credit and debit cards used at food and beverage and retail locations at the resort.
Since that time, the Resort has been working with third-party forensic investigators to determine what happened and what information was affected. The Resort has confirmed that malware may have captured data from some credit and debit cards used at food and beverage and retail locations at the Resort. The Resort has removed the malware at issue to contain this incident and implemented additional procedures in an effort to prevent any further unauthorized access to customers’ credit and debit card information. This incident did not affect credit and debit cards used to make or pay for hotel reservations or purchases made by guests who charged their food and beverage or retail purchases back to their room.
What Information Was Involved? Through the ongoing third-party forensic investigations, the Resort confirmed that malware may have captured credit and debit card data from some credit and debit cards used at food and beverage and retail locations between March 9, 2016 and October 22, 2016. The information at risk as a result of this event for credit or debit cards used at the impacted locations includes the card number, expiration date, CVV and in some instances, cardholder name. This incident did not involve customers’ Social Security numbers as this information is never collected by the Resort. This incident did not involve customers’ PIN numbers, either.
What We Are Doing. “The Resort takes the security of our customers’ information extremely seriously, and we apologize for the inconvenience this incident may have caused our customers,” Howard C. Karawan, President and Managing Director of Atlantis, Paradise Island, stated. Mr. Karawan expanded, “We continue to work with third-party forensic investigators to ensure the security of our systems on behalf of our customers and would like to take this opportunity to remind customers to remain vigilant against fraud by reviewing their financial account statements regularly and reporting any suspicious activity.”
For More Information. The Resort has established a dedicated assistance line for individuals seeking additional information regarding this incident. Customers can call (877) 223-3689, Monday through Friday (excluding U.S. holidays), 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. EST and provide reference number 1141111816 when calling. Customers that live in a country that does not support toll free numbers in the North American Numbering Plan, please phone 1-814-201-3667, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. EST, Monday through Friday (excluding U.S. holidays). Customers can also find information on this incident and what they can do to better protect against fraud and identity theft at www.atlantisbahamas.com.
What You Can Do. The Resort encourages all customers to remain vigilant against identity theft by reviewing their financial account statements regularly and monitoring their credit reports for suspicious activity. Customers should immediately report any unauthorized charges to their card issuer. The phone number to call is usually on the back of the credit or debit card. Under U.S. law, individuals over the age of 18 are entitled to one free credit report annually from each of the three major credit bureaus. To order a free credit report, visit www.annualcreditreport.com or call, toll-free, 1-877-322-8228. Customers may also contact the three major credit bureaus directly to request a free copy of their credit report.
The Resort encourages customers who believe they may be affected by this incident to take additional action to further protect against possible identity theft or other financial loss. At no charge, customers can have these credit bureaus place a “fraud alert” on their file, alerting creditors to take additional steps to verify their identity prior to granting credit in their name. Note, however, that because it tells creditors to follow certain procedures to protect the customer, a fraud alert may also delay customers’ ability to obtain credit while the agency verifies their identity. As soon as one credit bureau confirms a customer’s fraud alert, the others are notified to place fraud alerts on the customer’s file. Should customers wish to place a fraud alert or have any questions regarding their credit reports, they may contact any one of the agencies listed below.

Customers may also place a security freeze on their credit reports. A security freeze prohibits a credit reporting agency from releasing any information from a customer’s credit report without the consumer’s written authorization. However, customers should be aware that placing a security freeze on their credit reports may delay, interfere with or prevent the timely approval of any requests they make for new loans, credit mortgages, employment, housing, or other services. If a customer has been a victim of identity theft and provides a credit reporting agency with a valid police report, the agency cannot charge the customer to place, lift or remove a security freeze. In all other cases, a credit reporting agency may charge a fee to place, temporarily lift or permanently remove a security freeze. Customers will need to place security freezes separately with each of the three major credit bureaus listed above if they wish to place a freeze on all of their credit files. To find out more about how to place a security freeze, customers can contact the credit reporting agencies using the information below:
|
Equifax Security Freeze P.O. Box 105788 Atlanta, GA 30348 1-800-685-1111 (NY residents please call 1-800-349-9960) |

Western Dental Offers Suggestions to Keep Mouth and Gums Healthy during the Holidays
ORANGE, California, Nov. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Thanksgiving arrives this week, signaling the start of a cherished holiday season filled with both giving and receiving.
Thanksgiving is not only a good time to think about others, but also a time to think about our own oral health and overall health.
Here’s some advice from Western Dental to help your mouth and gums stay healthy during this festive period when the tendency is to indulge ourselves in food choices that we frequently resist throughout the year.
- Don’t Forget about Nutrition: Sugar is the enemy, not only for dental reasons, but also because childhood obesity is such a big concern. Whether it’s pumpkin pie or a marshmallow-topped yam casserole, Thanksgiving dinner can be a delight for your sweet tooth. But all that sugar also becomes a feast for cavity-causing bacteria. TIP: If you’re cooking, consider swapping sugar for substitutes like xylitol or erythritol – sweeteners that don’t cause decay.
- Veggies & Salad: We all love turkey, filling and sweet potatoes, but make sure to balance your Thanksgiving meal by including vegetables and salads. TIP: Red and orange veggies are usually high in vitamin C (good for gums), while leafy green vegetables are a great calcium source for strong teeth.
- Walk It Off: Take a post-meal walk before having that piece of pumpkin pie. TIP: A light lunch or breakfast is a good idea, and so is getting in a workout before Thanksgiving dinner.
- Holiday Dental Visits: Holiday weeks are the perfect time to visit the dentist. Kids are out of school, and many dental offices have available appointments. And, as Black Friday approaches, look for deals on dental work and orthodontics. TIP: At Western Dental, new patients receive free exams and X-rays, braces for $99 a month with no money down, and a no-money-down deal for implants.
- Preventative Steps: Drinking water intermittently helps keep sugar and food particles from resting in the grooves of your teeth. It’s important to maintain good habits by brushing the teeth thoroughly and flossing before going to bed.

IRVINE, California, Nov. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — As part of its annual charity program designed to give back to those in need, Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) today announced the start of the 2016 Mazda Drive for Good® event. From November 21, 2016 through January 3, 2017, Mazda customers and potential owners are invited to help give back to those in need by taking a test drive or by buying, or leasing, a new Mazda. For every test drive, Mazda will pledge one volunteer hour to a worthy cause in the community, and when owners buy or lease a new Mazda, Mazda will donate $150 to one of the select national or local charities of their choice.1

In its fourth year of the Mazda Drive for Good program, Mazda is again collaborating with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®, American Red Cross, American Heart Association, and the Mazda Foundation (USA), Inc. on a national level. In addition to the four national nonprofit organizations, Mazda Dealer Marketing Groups around the nation also have the opportunity to partner with local nonprofit organizations, which enable new Mazda owners to select an organization closer to home. The complete list of local nonprofits can be found below.
“Our Driving Matters campaign speaks directly to the experience of driving our vehicles, and by allowing Mazda test drives to matter in another way, we are able to highlight an important aspect of Mazda’s purpose as an organization within the community,” said Robert Davis, senior vice president of U.S. operations at MNAO. “Over the last few years, the Mazda Drive for Good program has provided us with a unique opportunity to allow our customers to direct how we give back to our communities, and we look forward to continuing to give back to those organizations that matter most to them, in 2017.”
In order to spread the word about the campaign, Mazda teamed up with NBCUniversal for the 2016 Mazda Drive for Good Contest, where the winner, or the organization’s representative, will attend NBC’s “Christmas in Rockefeller Center” on November 30, and will be recognized for their influence in the community. The winner will receive a $30,000 donation—money raised as part of the 2016 Mazda Drive for Good program.
Supporting the Mazda Drive for Good event is a multi-faceted campaign across all media channels. Mazda’s national media buy features :30 television spots featuring some of Mazda’s own, designed to represent all of Mazda’s employees that give back year-round. Additionally, there is a 2:00 cinema piece highlighting a Mazda dealer and dedicated Mazda Drive for Good volunteer in Charlotte, NC.
Consumers will also have access to a dedicated Mazda Drive for Good webpage at MazdaUSA.com/drive4good where they can track Mazda’s progress and find Mazda Drive for Good content. Owners that purchase or lease a new Mazda during the event period can direct their donations through this page.
Since its launch in 2013, Mazda has donated more than $13 million to charity and has pledged more than 195,000 charitable service hours. Mazda believes that buying a car isn’t just an artificial transaction. The time and money donated as part of the community creates a ripple effect across the country and develops a community of its own—leaving a lasting effect on those in need.
Mazda remains committed to helping communities throughout the year, through monetary donations and volunteer service. Follow the conversation at #MazdaDrive4Good or MazdaUSA.com/Drive4Good.
