I know it is a little tedious. It is also ridiculous.

This time a company that manages hotel franchises.... This looks like one of those stories about... companies that outsource some aspects of their business to a management company.

This one could be a big convoluted mess.

It is probably time for consumers to begin registering complaints to their congressional reps and senators.

Yes I agree, I'm getting data-breach fatigue. It is a very big problem with lots of potential for to harm all of us. I've recently have had two credit cards replaced by banks due to the Target breach, and one of those had been just replaced for another breach somewhere. Heavens! Where will it end? Back to cash maybe? Yikes!

They are too busy fighting each other over mundane subjects. They do not have time for our financial problems.

Here is an update on that data breach. Gotta wonder how tight their security is if it has been going on for 9 months.

Hotel data breach went undiscovered for nine months (http://www.cnbc.com/id/101396464)

Here is the official response from White Lodging. Included is a list of the hotels that might have been affected.
