Identity Theft Alert: Alaska Air Customers' Credit Cards Misused

If you bought tickets from Alaska or Horizon airlines, pay close attention to your credit card statements. (You should be doing this anyway, you know.)

About 1,500 customers have been notified that their credit cards were misused when a call center employee diverted some payments to a personal account.

The airlines' parent company is working with police to resolve the investigation and have stated that customers are not responsible for repaying the diversions that took place between August 2006 and June 2008.
