TripAdvisor is the latest company to announce a security breach of its customer email addresses. The travel advice company has published limited details of the incident at http://www.tripadvisor.com/vpages/more_information.html, but is still investigating when the breach actually occurred.

TripAdvisor’s statement does not make it clear how many addresses have been compromised, but they note that the vulnerability has been identified and fixed:

“While we’re still investigating the details, we’ve identified the vulnerability, shut it down and are vigorously pursuing the matter with law enforcement. We are also are implementing additional security precautions to help prevent another incident in the future.”

TripAdvisor was previously a client of Silverpop, which was blamed for a similar breach at Play.com earlier this week. However, Silverpop confirmed to Netcraft that TripAdvisor has not been a client of theirs since 2008, adding “Clearly this is an industry-wide issue”.

TripAdvisor was unable to provide any further information to Netcraft at this stage, as their investigations are ongoing, but they did reiterate that no financial details have been compromised.
