Hack at Booking.com; Customers' booking data accessed

Booking site Booking.com reported that “unauthorized third parties” have gained access to customer booking information. Some Booking.com customers received an email on Sunday regarding a possible data leak. The company confirmed the leak on Sunday evening.

According to the company, the problem is “now under control” and “the affected guests” have been informed.

The email states that Booking.com “recently noticed suspicious activity” that “affects a number of reservations.” ANP saw the email.

The message also states that the investigation into the possible leak revealed that unauthorized persons may have viewed “booking details, name or names, email addresses, and physical addresses,” as well as “phone numbers linked to the booking and any other information you may have shared with the accommodation.”

The email does not state when the hack occurred or how many people may have been affected. Booking.com is also not responding to questions about this.
