The latest update is out from Travel Expert (Asia) Enterprises Limited ( (HK:1235) ).

Travel Expert (Asia) Enterprises Limited has disclosed that it recently detected unauthorized access to certain internal servers and shared storage systems, potentially affecting customer orders, operational records, employee files and system data, though credit card details are not at risk as payment processing is handled by external providers. The group has launched emergency measures including forming an internal crisis committee, engaging independent cybersecurity experts for forensic investigation and data recovery, notifying law enforcement and Hong Kong’s privacy regulator, and activating its business continuity plan using cloud-based tools, with management stating that overall operations remain stable while it assesses process-level impacts and commits to strengthening information system security.

The board will closely monitor developments and provide further updates in line with Hong Kong listing and securities regulations, including any changes in customer data security risks. Shareholders and potential investors are urged to act cautiously as current disclosures are based on preliminary internal assessments and the full extent of the incident’s consequences for internal processes and compliance obligations is still under review.
