Travel website Orbitz on Tuesday disclosed a possible breach that may have resulted in hackers making away with personal information on 880,000 customer payment cards.
Orbitz, which is now owned by Expedia, described the episode as a “data security incident,” saying that an internal investigation revealed that hackers may have accessed card information stored on a consumer and business partner platform between October and December of last year. The company said the Orbitz website was not involved in the incident and that there is no “direct evidence” of information actually being stolen.
