10 < 8,000,000

Best Western has let it be known that the compromise that was widely reported was contained to only 10 guests that stayed at one of the chain's many hotels in Germany.

That's three fewer than the 13 customer records that Best Western International Inc. initially said had been exposed, and a far cry from the 8 million stolen records reported by the Glasgow Sunday Herald, a Scottish newspaper that broke the news of the breach on Sunday.

So not so bad... this is great news (unless you are one of the ten people about to get letters and free credit monitoring).
