Hacker takes off with TripAdvisor's customer email database
By Nate Cochran

In an email purporting to be from its chief executive officer Steve Kaufer sent to customers today, the site that bills itself as "Most Trusted" said the list was stolen last weekend and that it has since closed the source of the vulnerability. But it did not say what the vulnerability was or what it did to ensure it didn't again leak its customers' personal information.
