Something's wrong at Air Miles

Today at 4pm, the entire Air Miles website was unavailable. Some are speculating that it has to do with the recent events of parent Alliance Data Systems, and their inability to consummate a deal with the Blackstone Group. Others, even more disastrous, are hearing rumours of a security breach in personal and banking information hosted by the site, resulting in a 'pulling of the plug' as the only rapid way to stem the hemorrhaging of consumer data. Air Miles in Canada is a partner of BMO Bank of Montreal, which recently announced a drop of 35% in quarterly profits following a confluence of circumstances. The picture is a screen-shot of the website at 4:07pm EST.
