Go Go Gadget Identity Theft
Just a PSA:
If you've booked through hotels.com from 2002 thru 2004, odds are that your credit card information has been stolen. Some dumb-ass lost a laptop with 243,000 names/credit card numbers on it.
I just requested a new card number because I used them once in that timeframe, and you should too.

It wasn't hotels.com that lost the laptop. It was an employee with their auditor with Ernst & Young.
As to why put this on a laptop - my guess is an employee was working from home and probably was too lazy to use VPN access, so he copied a database to his own laptop. http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/6420AP_WA_Hotelscom_Data_Theft.html
This is nothing compared to the 26.5 million miltiary veterans information that was lost in a similar way a couple weeks ago.
