  As discussed within Hospitality and Tourism Technology Innovations this week, It is crucial to have better protection for businesses. In this article, it shows how a couple weeks ago Carnival was hit with a ransomware attack. Within this attack carnival stated the following "Based on its preliminary assessment and on the information currently known (in particular, that the incident occurred in a portion of a brand's information technology systems), the company does not believe the incident will have a material impact on its business, operations or financial results,""Nonetheless, we expect that the security event included unauthorized access to personal data of guests and employees, which may result in potential claims from guests, employees, shareholders, or regulatory agencies."
  Although it didn't directly damage or retrieve information from the internal business it retrieved info from guests. Which is a bigger problem in itself which can then create lawsuits and so forth. With the company being so large, there are many possibilities for more attacks but it isn't like they aren't used to it being that they had a data breach back in May 2019. Seeing how this is regularly occurring to guest and employee info, you would think they look into the option for protecting on the software that is used for those individuals. With the amounts of money the company has to support multiple ships, they should find ways to put aside the time and money to fix this reoccurring issue.
