Booking.com experienced a data breach with “unauthorized parties” gaining access to customer data, The Guardian’s Lauren Almeida reports, citing a company statement. The platform said it “noticed some suspicious activity involving unauthorised third parties being able to access some of our guests’ booking information. Upon discovering the activity, we took action to contain the issue. We have updated the pin number for these reservations and informed our guests.” In an email to customers, the company said, “Based on the findings of our investigation to date, accessed information could include booking details and names, emails, addresses, phone numbers associated with the booking and anything that you may have shared with the accommodation.”
