Best Western Loses Details On 8 Million Customers

Albanach writes "Scotland's Sunday Herald newspaper has an exclusive report that the Best Western hotel chain has lost the personal details of each and every guest who has stayed at any of its 1300 hotels in the past 12 months. This amounts to details on 8 million customers and includes information such as name, address, credit card details and employment details. The data even includes future booking details, causing speculation that homes could be targeted for burglary when it's anticipated they will be unoccupied. A Best Western spokesperson is quoted as saying 'Best Western took immediate action to disable the compromised log-in account in question. We are currently in the process of working with our credit card partners to ensure that all relevant procedural standards are met, and that the interests of our guests are protected.'"

Great troll!

- Completely and totally unrelated to the article you're posting under.
- MS vs. everyone else.
- Suggesting class action lawsuits.

You sir, are a master troll. I give you a 9.0. A 10.0 can be achieved by adding in either some conspiracy theories, and adding some length to the post, and possibly using some "M$"'s.
