Ie: Budget Travel customer data stolen

Posted on February 18, 2010 by Dissent

Elaine Edwards reports:

Gardaí are investigating the theft of a memory stick containing personal details of tens of thousands of customers of Budget Travel, which went into liquidation last November.

The liquidator, Simon Coyle, contacted affected customers yesterday to inform them their details were on a USB stick taken as part of a theft from Budget Travel’s headquarters in Dublin within the past two weeks.

It is understood that more than 90,000 customers may be affected. Mr Coyle would only confirm the figure ran to “tens of thousands”.
