NEW YORK: Marriott disclosed Jan 4 that fewer guests than originally thought were affected by a massive computer hacking attack but that more than five million passport numbers were stolen. 

Marriott said about 5.25 million passport numbers were taken in the incident, which US officials believe was masterminded by the Chinese government.
