Hershey Entertainment warns of hack

Hershey Entertainment & Resorts Co., which operates the popular HersheyPark attraction, said on Friday that its on-site card-payment system was hacked and consumers should be vigilant about unauthorized charges on their bills.

The company warned that people who used credit cards at HersheyPark and its other properties between Feb. 14 and June 2 should monitor statements.

Many of the credit cards used after May 9 "were likely not affected," a Hershey Entertainment spokeswoman said on Friday.

The company's properties include Hotel Hershey and the Hershey Lodge. Hershey Entertainment said it did not believe the online ticketing operations related to HersheyPark or the Giant Center were compromised. But people who bought concessions at the venues could have been affected.
