There have been an alarming number of breaches of late. Not to be outdone, TripAdvisor announced today that they were breached as well and that email addresses (at least) had been compromised.

If you use TripAdvisor you may soon be getting more spam. The travel site told customers in an e-mail today that someone had breached its network and stolen e-mail addresses for an undisclosed number of its members.
“This past weekend we discovered that an unauthorized third party had stolen part of TripAdvisor’s member email list,” Steve Kaufer, co-founder and chief executive, wrote in the e-mail.
I would imagine that it will be a while before we hear that full story as undoubtedly law enforcement is involved.
