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