Feed: All Latest | ‘Reservation Hijacking’ Scams Target Travelers. Here’s How to Stay Safe by David Nield

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

“Reservation hijacking” scams target travelers by exploiting details from a legitimate booking—often obtained through data breaches like the April 2026 Booking.com hack, which exposed names, email addresses, phone numbers and reservation information. Scammers impersonate hotel, airline, car‑rental or spa staff, contacting victims via phone, email or text and demanding urgent payments (bank transfers, credit‑card details) that go to the fraudsters instead of the true provider. To stay safe, verify the caller’s identity through official channels, never share payment information outside the platform that made the reservation, use the company’s own apps or website for communication, and protect all travel accounts with strong, unique passwords and two‑factor authentication.

⚠️ 🎣 We’re seeing an ongoing phishing campaign targeting hotels and hosts, impersonating messages from 'Booking.com' - see sample image below.

Here’s what we know so far:

➡️ Emails appear to target actual 'Booking.com' host email addresses, which may indicate that recipient data was obtained from a previous breach - the timing is particularly relevant given the 'Booking.com' data breach last month (see article - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cly00jnnxypo).

➡️ While the emails appear to come from 'Booking.com', they are actually sent via compromised accounts.

➡️ Messages typically reference a “complaint” or “special request” requiring urgent action.

➡️ Links often use URL shorteners or services like 'share.google' to hide phishing pages

➡️ Goal is to steal login credentials or payment details through fake portals

These phishing emails are very convincing, so extra caution is prudent - here are some steps you can take to reduce risk:

✅ Be cautious of urgency or pressure in booking-related emails
✅ Avoid clicking shortened or unfamiliar links
✅ Verify requests by logging into the platform directly
✅ Report suspicious emails internally or to the platform provider

qwant news | Uber's AI-Powered Hotel Booking Reveals the New Speed of Software Development - Gadget Review

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Uber has rolled out a new hotel‑booking feature in its app, using AI‑powered coding assistants that compressed what would normally be a year‑long development cycle into just a few months. The integration, built with tools like Cursor, connects users to more than 700,000 hotels through Expedia’s network (with Vrbo added later in the year) and offers Uber One members a 20 % discount on select properties plus 10 % of the spend back as Uber Credits. By eliminating traditional engineering bottlenecks, Uber’s CTO describes the process as a “fundamental reset” that will let product teams launch ambitious features faster, positioning the ride‑hailing giant against traditional travel platforms such as Booking.com and Airbnb with AI‑driven voice bookings, local recommendations, and even “room service” via Uber Eats. This shift signals that software development timelines are now limited more by user adoption than by engineering capacity.

#bookingcom behauptet, sie hätten beim kürzlichen Datenleck keine Kreditkartendaten verloren.
