Cybercriminals gained unauthorized access to the company’s internal systems, exposing customer names, phone numbers, and personal information linked to both current and past reservations.
The breach is particularly concerning because it means even old bookings may pose risks today. Government cybersecurity agencies are closely monitoring the situation and have demanded the company provide full transparency about the scope of the attack. For a platform synonymous with holiday planning, the incident strikes at the heart of consumer trust.
