Convio Has Security Breach of Client Personal Data

Convio announced today that they had a security breach when a laptop was compromised. Personal data such as user names and passwords were on the laptop. Convio claims that only their GetActive clients information were on the computer, but until results from a forensic lab come back no one will know for sure what was the full loss of data.

Many of Convio's GetActive clients sent emails out to their constituents to let them know that their information may have been stolen. Experts say that even just user names and passwords are extremely dangerous as criminals may go straight to bank account sites and attempt to log in using the same account info. As many people use the same user name and password for their various online accounts, the full extent of the breach may not be known for a few weeks.
