  12     Earlier  today, British Airways said credit card information of
  13     at  least  380,000  customers have been "compromised" in a data
  14     breach  that  occurred  between  August 21 and September 5. The
  15     information  stolen  includes  customer names, email addresses,
  16     home  addresses  and payment card information -- but not travel
  17     or  passport details. Sky News reports: In an email to affected
  18     customers,  BA said: "We're deeply sorry, but you may have been
  19     affected.  We  recommend  that  you contact your bank or credit
  20     card  provider and follow their recommended advice. We take the
  21     protection  of your personal information very seriously. Please
  22     accept  our  deepest  apologies for the worry and inconvenience
  23     that  this  criminal  activity has caused." The breach has been
  24     "resolved"  and  the website is "working normally," it said. In
  25     a  statement,  the  airline added: "We have notified the police
  26     and  relevant  authorities...  [and]  will continue to keep our
  27     customers  updated with the very latest information. We will be
  28     contacting   customers   and  will  manage  any  claims  on  an
  29     individual basis."

  43      Say, $100 per customer, payable to the customer for their
  44      hassle. But likely this will not cost them a thing. So it will
  45      happen again and again and again.

  52      so dense that photons could not travel very far.
  53      Coincidence?
  54      Yes, I'm sure of it.

  67      "We take the protection of your personal information very
  68      seriously" Almost insulting to put that in the email sent to
  69      affected clients.
