a few days ago someone here on friendfeed was saying "privacy is a false issue" (meaning: c'mon, it's not a real problem)... yeah, sure! - Andre
This is not a privacy matter. This is a security matter. Is pretty different. - Federico Fasce
the problem is: your privacy is always a security matter. this specific episode teaches (to anyone unaware of the problem) that your data (being it online or offline) is always linked to the security of some system, and breaches do happen... people should be aware of it (and then freely decide what/how/when share stuff online), most of them, unfortunatly, are not. - Andre
Just after posting this, a Facebook friend told me that Best Western says the newspaper report isn't accurate, saying the data breach relates to one hotel only. They've issued a press release which I don't think clarifies much. And that release isn't listed on their website. http://tinyurl.com/65kztw - Neville Hobson
@Federico Fasce : I second lezionidistile; this is 100% about one's privacy. If you think having your credit card info stolen isn't a Privacy matter of the most critical importance, what do you think is? - Woodrow Jarvis Hill
What's the difference from privacy and security matter? Does this both connote restriction? - Jack
