Booking.com says unauthorised third parties have accessed customer booking information. Some customers received an email on Sunday warning them about a possible data leak, and the company confirmed later that day that outsiders had viewed certain data.
The company says it has the situation under control and has informed the affected guests. In the email, Booking.com explains that it recently noticed suspicious activity involving a number of reservations. The ANP reviewed the message.
According to the email, the investigation showed that unauthorised individuals may have viewed booking details, names, email addresses, physical addresses, and phone numbers linked to the reservation. They may also have seen any additional information customers shared with the accommodation.
The email does not say when the breach took place or how many people it involves. Booking.com has not answered questions about these points.
