参考答案【正确答案：D】
根据题干关键词FTC sues Wyndham定位到第一段第二句On June 26th America’s Federal Trade Commission sued Wyndham Worldwide，a hotel group，alleging that security failures at the company in 2008 and 2009 had led to the export of hundreds of thousands of guests’ payment-card account numbers to a domain registered in Russia。此句意为“6月26日，美国联邦贸易委员会控告温德姆环球酒店公司，控诉其因安全疏忽致使在2008年至2009年无数客户的信用卡账号信息泄露，流入了一个在俄罗斯注册的域名。故D项“泄露顾客的信用卡账号信息”符合题意，为正确答案。
