Yeah, watch for all the new domain registrations for look-alike domains, eg emailus-marriott.com, with 'Links back to our Site' , world needs to make it easier for the one-time use email addresses when registering information on line for the general public, eg the -dash notation.
But what is scary about this one, is that it includes enough information linked together, eg passport information, credit cards, to make identity theft a lot easier.. from what I understand.. Wish these breach announcements would happen on a Monday instead of a Friday ;) Hackers work weekends more than security ppl do.
