Card Numbers, Personal Information of Hotels.com Customers Stolen
According to news
reports, a laptop stolen from an Ernst & Young auditor
contained the personal information of over 200,000 Hotels.com
customers. The theft happened in February, but it was not known
exactly what information was on the computer until recently.
While
Hotels.com and Ernst & Young believe the laptop was not
stolen specifically for that information, and further believe
the information has not been used for any fraudulent activity,
letters were sent out to all customers who were potentially
affected.
Much
of the information was from 2004 and prior years, making at
least some of it no longer timely.
