Oh great, #BestWestern has been #hacked
I just got an email saying the following:
"BWH® Hotels, the parent company for WorldHotels™, Best Western® Hotels & Resorts, and Sure Hotels®, takes the privacy and security of our guests’ personal information very seriously. We are writing to let you know that on April 22, 2026, we identified unauthorized activity in one of our web applications that houses certain guest reservation data.
We have learned that certain guests’ names, email addresses, telephone numbers, and/or home addresses, along with other reservation details (e.g., reservation numbers, dates of stay, and any special requests) for reservations in our system were accessed by an unauthorized third‑party between October 14, 2025 and April 22, 2026, including yours. Importantly, payment and other financial information was not stored in the affected system and therefore was not accessed."
Edit: This seems different to the hack from back in February, even though it sounds like the "web application" was vulnerable since October 2025: https://swedenherald.com/article/data-breach-at-best-western-hotel-chain-be-vigilant
This is not their year....

While researching #EinsteinAI, I discovered that different #LearningManagementSystems (#LMS) allowed EinsteinAI, while others did not. #CanvasLMS was one of the ones who allowed Einstein and bunch of other #AIAgents. No wonder they got #hacked! It sounds like everybody had a key to get in!
Einstein AI by Companion.AI: Automating Homework on #Canvas Raises #AcademicIntegrity Concerns
A “student-in-a-box” agent arrives—what Einstein signals about the next phase of AI automation
By Juan Martinez, Feb 25, 2026
"Companion.AI’s newly unveiled 'Einstein' agent is not merely another #GenerativeAI assistant; it is a pointed demonstration of how quickly the market is moving from chat-based help to autonomous, persistent agents capable of completing entire workflows end-to-end. By interfacing directly with the Canvas #LearningManagementSystem (LMS), Einstein is positioned to log into student accounts, ingest course materials, participate in discussion threads, draft assignments, and submit finished work—effectively compressing the student’s academic workflow into a 'set it and forget it' automation layer."

Companion.AI’s Einstein agent exemplifies the shift from chat-based AI to autonomous, stateful agents integrated directly with Canvas LMS, automating end-to-end student workflows. This raises critical challenges in security, data governance, academic integrity, assessment design, and edtech business models.
