My Alaska log-in is unique to Alaska, but seems like every day we read new stories of database hacks across various web sites ranging from shopping sites to travel sites.
My log-in is unique. It would also seem strange if my account was compromised from an old data breach that they didn't cancel my reservation until day of departure, but didn't use any of my points, and didn't touch my CX F / JL F reservations (whose space are rarer than HU J space).
