As a frequent traveler, I have just about all of the hotel, airline, and car rental cards so have my email address spread out all over the place. As a result, I'm receiving quite a few emails about the theft of data. Some of my co-workers on the east coast are also receiving an increased number of e-mail scams asking to verify information from some legitimate looking sources.

Anyone esle seeing or hearing anything?

I got a notice yesterday from Best Buy about it, but have not seen any increase in the junk or phishing guys yet.

Nothing so far. I occasionally receive phishing e-mails asking me to verify my account log-in etc.

Never,ever,ever click on a link from an e-mail. If in doubt, type in the address of the "sender" to verify any account alerts.

Marriott sent me an apology yesterday, said it shouldn't effect me, but be careful of scams and understand that Marriott will NEVER as for personal information over an email.

I have recieved 2 different notices since then that an ACH draft did not go through and I need to click the link to verify and rectify the problem. I didn't click on it, since I didn't make any ACH draft ...

I received a note from Hilton Honors saying they were hacked as well. I could care less since I traveled using a corporate card. The card was canceled when I retired a couple of years ago.
