Thank you so much for checking out this episode of Cruise Radio. Very happy to have you here, my friend. A review of Carnival Vista this week on a Caribbean cruise. But first, staff writer Richard Sims on deck with Cruz News. Hey, Richard.

Hey, Doug, we have so much to cover today. Yeah, kicking things off, too, with a bit of breaking news regarding a supposed security breach at Carnival Corporation. What do we have here?

Well, okay, it was a supposed security leak. Now we know it's official. We literally got news of this about five minutes ago, so we're sort of trying to piece this together. Carnival is apparently

sending out emails to people who were impacted by this, informing them that they were indeed

the victim of a security breach. They basically say that on April 14th, the IT team identified

unauthorized activity involving an employee's account. You may remember we

talked about this a couple weeks ago and Carnival kind of said, well, you know, it's only going to

April 22nd, they determined that the bad actor had illegally copied personal information. They are now

reaching out to people. It's a little unclear if they are sending this, you know, slowly but surely

to everyone. Some people have received it. Some people have not. Or if they are only sending it to

people they specifically know were targeted. The latter does seem to be the case because they literally

say in the letter, and I'm quoting here, we have determined that your full name address,

email address, phone number, and passport number were obtained. What they are saying is that

if you are one of the people who has been impacted here,

they're going to offer a complementary 24-month membership to a credit monitoring system.

If you want to be involved in this and you've received this letter,
