New York-based online bookseller Barnes & Noble.com has been slapped with a $60,000 fine after a flaw exposed sensitive customer data on its Web site.

As part of a settlement with New York State attorney General Eliot Spitzer, Barnes & Noble.com will pay the fine and establish an information security program to protect personal information collected during e-commerce operations.
