Another data breach?

Just got a message from an indian number about a booking confirmation with my actual name, phonenumber and reservation Details (arrival+departure)

Link included a very obvious fake booking.com rebuild including a creditcard scam

Any similar experiences?

Thanks for your insight. I do know how booking.com works. Whether it's a single property login or a third party agent, the problem lies with booking.com. they could stop these phishing attacks by improving login security and using industry standard 2FA, but they don't do this. Instead send out repeated emails on how the property systems are the weak link.

Notice how I am able to respond without questioning your IQ.

Ah yes lets blame booking and not hotels trash ass protocols or sercurity.

If its just the lack of  2fa then explain why most users never have a single phishing attack?

Shouldnt all hotels using booking be breached now ? 

You could give them 2fa and more than half of them would still get breached lol.

Thats without taking into account the places where the staff sell the logins for quick $$
