Cyber security experts warn Booking.com users of ‘scam’
Booking.com customers have been warned by a cybersecurity firm about a “well-crafted scam” to defraud them of money.
Secureworks said on X, formerly Twitter: “If you use http://Booking.com, pay attention! According to Secureworks researchers, there’s a well-crafted scam circulating that’s putting customers at risk of payment fraud.”
The post links to a Sky news article which says criminals are targeting the website’s partner hotels to steal user details.
“They then send phishing emails to the customers, claiming their reservation will be cancelled if they do not provide payment information urgently,” reported Sky.
