Travelocity Exposed Customers' Information
A security breach at Travelocity.com, a popular travel web site, allowed Internet users to view the names, addresses, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses of 51,000 members without a password. This security breach is the newest in a series of incidents involving popular web sites such as Egghead.com and Creditcards.com. Jason Catlett, President of Junkbusters, commented: "There's a rush to be first with a new feature and to get the promotion running rather than making sure all of the doors are locked before they open the front gate."
