Submission + - Best Western downplays data breach
fl!ptop writes: Only 4 days after reports that it lost details on millions of customers, Best Western downplayed the breach, insisting that no more than a dozen records were compromised:
According to Best Western spokeswoman Marie Yarroll, the number of compromised customer records, according to the current analysis and investigation, appears to be only 10 and not more than a dozen. "We are currently contacting those customers and offering assistance as needed."
Glasgow Sunday Herald writer Iain Bruce, who broke the story, claims to have screen shots of the Best Western data breach and stands by his story, saying, "It's a shame that BW [Best Western] [isn't] more worried about the breach than attacking me."
