Hotels.com customers targeted by phishing scam
Hotels.com customers have been caught up in a phishing scam using fraudulent emails masquerading as legitimate messages regarding their bookings.
Part of Expedia group, Hotels.com allows customers to search for and book rooms at hotels across the country online or by phone.
The details of the scam are currently unclear, other than the fact it relies on duping the user into believing they have received a genuine email from Hotels.com or the hotel they booked with.
It is also not clear how the perpetrator or perpetrators got hold of the details of the victims, as this does not seem to be a random, scattergun phishing attack.
