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.'"

Don't they spy on the customers too?

They use the phone microphone to spy on you! Don't believe me? Try this, bring a third person into a room set for two. Then have a small party, you don't have to get loud, just have a little party where three voices speak, do it for several hours. Watch as your phone rings and they tell you to get the other person out. If you refuse they'll call the cops, when the cops come, they will attempt to open the door. If your strong enough you can keep them from turning the handle even though they put the correct key in. After 30-45 minutes the cops will go away and everything will quiet down. IF the third person goes out at that point the cops will pick em up and go back to the managers and the whole process begins again, ending with people in jail.

No ask yourself, HOW DO I KNOW?

Fuck Best Western.

PS: for extra bonus homework, try this at motel 6! See if they're not even faster!

PS PS: I dare you to destroy the room! Especially those fucking shit tables they use silicone to hold on the wall. You know the one that if you put a heavy bag on it breaks off the wall. Break that and see how much it costs. Ha! Better yet, break that, and bring a screwdriver, open every socket, plate, electrical outlet and switch, then unbolt the toilet. If you can, use a fake name! It'l cost if you don't.

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.
