Some breaches seem to go on forever.
Wyndham Hotels and Resorts, which reported a hacking incident in 2008 and hacking incidents in 2009 and 2010, has recently notified the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office of an update to its report of June 2010. That report did not and does not appear on the state’s breach report list, so I’m not sure what it said, but by letter dated April 29, 2011, Wyndham indicated that it had identified an additional 42 New Hampshire residents who were affected by prior incidents and who would first be notified, even though Wyndham does not believe it is required to make such notifications.
Well, if you don’t pick up all the dirty clothes before doing the laundry, there will smelly ones sitting around, and around, and around.
