Travelodge hack, investigation continues…
Travelodge is investigating its IT systems to discover how customer email addresses have gone astray.
Several other customers have blogged of similar experiences, here’s Shepy’s post on the apparent hack.
Either LulzSec has taken a step down from hacking the US Senate and the CIA to target the motel chain, or Travelodge has been hit by more commercially minded hackers.
Travelodge told us: “We are aware that some customers have received a spam email. We have not sold any data and we are currently investigating this issue.”
Reg reader Richard emailed the company to complain and is still awaiting a response.
