Booking.com has noticed suspicious activity recently
Booking.com has reached out to its customers, some of which are based in Ireland, on a possible data breach recently.
In a media statement, the company said: "At Booking.com, we are dedicated to the security and data protection of our guests. We recently 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".
Conor Scolard, Director of Cyber Resilience at cybersecurity firm Ekco, told RTE that the incident may affect many people in Ireland who have already made their summer travel plans.
"Unfortunately, those who received the security email alert from Booking.com could see an increase in attempted scams in the coming weeks," Mr Scolard told RTE.
