FTC Files Complaint Against Wyndham For Hotel Data Breaches

Posted by Unknown on from the your-privacy-is-not-our-first-priority dept.

coondoggie writes "A little over a month after the FBI warned travelers of an uptick in data being stolen via hotel Internet connections, the Federal Trade Commission has filed a complaint against Wyndham Worldwide Corporation and three of its subsidiaries for alleged data security failures that led to three data breaches at Wyndham hotels in less than two years."

    A data beach sounds like a wonderful place to go during the summer. You say the Wyndham has these? My bits have been looking mighty pale, they could really use some sun.

    I read the internet for the articles.

      I always thought an offshore data haven should be someplace tropical with nice data beaches. Not a decrepit wave-lashed gun platform in the North Atlantic.

      That was Sealand's failing, I think: no data beaches.

    A data beach is much nicer than a data breach.

    spell check wouldn't catch this. That is why it is always good to proofread your work. LAZINESS! oh wait, this is /. ...I should assume that proofreading is futile
