TripAdvisor has reset an unknown number of accounts after the company warned that some accounts may have been compromised.
The travel booking site said that while it hadn’t been hacked, fraudsters had “attempted to verify email and password combinations” from data stolen from other companies.
A spokesperson for the company wouldn’t name the source of the breached data or say how many accounts were compromised, and declined to comment further.
But the number of accounts was significant enough to alert the California attorney general.
