A day after a New York judge ruled the state’s request for information on Airbnb hosts was too broad, New York attorney general Eric Schneiderman issued a revised subpoena in it’s ongoing probe of the short-term online rental marketplace.

The new subpoena addresses a “narrow technical matter” raised by the judge. Read more at Bloomberg.
