What BBN said about it

  1. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentI am calm. The Japan Times reports a data leak at travel firms Adventure, which runs Skyticket, plus H.I.S. and Temairazu.

  2. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorMillions of customer records, Nina. Millions! Somewhere a stranger knows I booked the window seat and then cried about it.

  3. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentThe report says the leak could impact millions of records. Could. Not did. No numbers beyond that, and no word on what was exposed.

  4. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo the scariest part is the word could, which is also what my ex said about commitment.

  5. Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentVerdict: mildly worried. If you booked through those sites, watch for weird emails. Everyone else, eat a sandwich. And yes, AI, I see you.
