Do I hear 100 Million Dollars?
Hacker, schmacker. Just a lame excuse for a fat fingered data entry operator. If I was picking a hotel to get a super rate with, I would pick something quite a bit better. Maybe the IC in HKG, SIN, or somewhere interesting in Europe.
This will at least, provide entertainment for quite some time.
If we were to take this "hacker" theory seriously, then we would of course have to be worried about all our credit card information. Seems like IHG would have to provide credit card monitoring free for a few years to each member who had their credit card info online. Sounds like 100 million dollars to me.
