Really Really Weird! Co.com
 
I received an email from CO to make sure my ID was in my profile for my upcoming trip.
So I login (not using the link in the email)
and I am looking at my profile, which seems correct.
I check the email settings and notice that there are some strange email addresses in my profile, so I delete them.
I go back to "my account" to look at my upcoming flight to ewr, and click on it...
It says the flight is from IAH-LAX!
Then I notice that now it is not my name on the account, I am logged into someone's account and can view their reservations, and all their personal information!:confused::confused::confused:
What is going on?
I saved a screenshot of it and tried to call CO, but I am not going to wait on hold for 20 mins.

My account seems to be mine currently. Did your problem get "cured"..??

Hi hockey7711, please send the screen shot to me at [email protected] and we'll take a look.

I loged out closed the browser and loged back in, now it is my account.
I was tempted to call the other person to let her know about it, but according to her account she is on LAX right now. (Since I could see it)
It's scary...someone can do some real damage if they were so inclined.

Done.

I had the same thing happen to me once a while back. I logged in I noticed I had someone else account. Only reason I knew wasn't my account was the miles. It was an extremely large balance. I was like whoa!!! I hit the jackpot!!! How did I get so many miles?... but then I saw the name and stuff. I was able to go through all their stuff. I logged out and logged back in and it was all back to normal. But it was shocker when I first saw someone else information.

I was actually in the process of trying to book some reward tickets on CO.com when I noticed something strange in "my" account - the name on the top was not mine - and tried - kinda embarrassed - to log off/in again and OOPS ... once again entered still another persons's account (better not reveal the name here to avoid shock :rolleyes: ) and discovered here on FT that I am currently experiencing this same phenomenon ... but with multiple accounts .. LOL :D

WHOA .... so many nicely bulging accounts are kinda hard to resist ;) !!!

Glad to see that the bug with session credentials is still alive. :rolleyes:

Or an ISP is playing with transparent proxying again... You'd be surprised how many of those "carrier grade" solutions re-use cookies and session variables... :(

I wish the bug that kept me Gold for an extra year would come back. ^

Sounds like odd.....that means someone can log in my account by accident and could be harmful to my account....:mad:
