Victoria’s Secrets’ Customers Exposed

NEW
YORK (AFP) – Lingerie retailer Victoria’s Secret has agreed to pay a
50,000-dollar fine as part of a settlement announced over a breach of
privacy on the company’s website.

The agreement followed an investigation of the company’s privacy policies
after a published report last year indicated that the personal information
of Victoria’s Secret New York customers was available through the company
web site.

Under the settlement, Victoria’s Secret will compensate New Yorkers whose
personal information was inadvertently left accessible via the internet
and implement a series of reforms to improve website security.

No word on why New Yorker’s were singled out for exposure….
