carnival corporation data breach could sink your vacation plans and your wallet
The massive Carnival Corporation data breach just got personal—it could cost you hundreds in hidden fees. Hackers accessed personal info of tens of thousands of guests and crew, including passport numbers and financial data. If you booked a cruise anytime recently, you might be staring at identity theft or forced trip cancellations. Carnival is offering limited credit monitoring, but consumer advocates say that’s not enough. Check your bank statements for weird charges, and don’t fall for phishing emails posing as "Carnival support" asking for more info. Your next vacation could turn into a legal headache.
