Posted on June 25, 2015 by Dissent

Bob Sullivan reports:

Some Expedia.com customers are getting emails from the firm warning that a would-be criminal has obtained “unauthorized access … (to) your name, phone number, email address and travel booking.”

Sarah Gavin, head of communications at Expedia, says the data was not stolen from Expedia, but rather a third party.
